Lawmakers Dance While Budget Takes Care of Itself

Monday March 23, 2009

The tidal wave of red ink is still heading toward the General Assembly, which still has little urgency in cutting spending in the budget that runs through June 30.
But the Government Administration & Elections Committee this morning is holding a public hearing on, among other things, a bill that would make the “ballroom polka” the “official” state polka.
It’s now noon. The GAE Committee has been going since 9:45. Most of the testimony was by state employees in favor of a bill that would allow more tele-commuting for state employees. Maybe, the Blogster hopes, no one will testify on the polka bill.
