A few words (in 2002) from Bill LuMaye, formerly of Green Bay, Wisc.:
This state budget may well be the most horrific piece of legislation ever composed by any body of so-called public servants. The complete lack of fiscal responsibility in this bill approaches historic levels. Self-serving, unconstitutional legislation and a plethora of fuzzy bribes for voters round out one smelly document.
It simply amazes me how tolerant the public can be of complete incompetence by its employees. . .
This “repair bill” repairs nothing. They have stolen what was once billions – yes, billions – in tobacco money to pay for their unrepressed spending habits and without even so much as a blink, self-importantly ordered the health department to check under the office cushions for a few million to keep minors from smoking. But then again, we’re going need those kids smoking so we can collect the tax to improve the quality of life in this great state.
Sounds promising.
