Kegger!
What do you do as a State Delegate or Senator after a decidedly lackluster session? Celebrate!
We raised taxes. Drink some beer!
We didn't do much to help the Bay. Drink some beer, in your office!
We didn't significantly reduce spending. And have some snacks.
We did more work undoing what we did last Fall (special session computer tax repeal and replacement with "millionaire tax") And start drinking early, don't wait till the session is actually over!
I asked the wisest person I know to comment on this story (my spouse) and she said, "Juvenile" then "Ridiculous". In that order. Of course she did work with college students most of her professional career so she expected this from them, but not from our elected representatives.
This really isn't the (pardon the pun) sober type of representation and addressing of our State's problems we are looking for is it?
Well now I'm depressed, so hand me a beer.
