AI YA YAI, in the midst of our current economic crisis and continued cut-throat cost-cutting measures and complete disregard for our hardworking government employees who have no CHOICE, who happen to have children to feed, car payments, loans, mortgage loans, outrageous CUC bills that not even a scientific calculator can figure etc., etc., our governor and his merry band of unified lawmakers are busy going back in time.
Updates
Top priority: Governor’s idea of creating NEW Jobs for the Locals — enforce 20 percent rule by tapping into Employment Section at the Department of Labor.
Is this a joke or an insult? Now it’s a PRIORITY! All those years and suddenly the locals are priority, important and needed. Where was this priority in the first place?
Sorry you’re not skilled go get FOOD STAMPS.
House Bill 242: A rubberstamped measure to RETURN 6 MILLION DOLLARS OF OUR CHILDRENS EDUCATION FUND? Now they want to act and look busy as if they where doing our education a good deed. Why did they borrow or reprogram the children’s education fund in the first place?
PLEASE LEAVE EDUCATION ALONE. Support them 110 percent It’s the only right thing to do.
House Bill 15-108: Prosecute government employees or officials and hold them personally liable for illegally reprogramming of funds. A decade behind, Mr. Speaker ?
You left out to include high officials or yourselves. Save it for future amendments.
HOMESTEAD: Housing developments this month — with what money?
The government is broke.
CUC: This is a good one, UNUSED CIP FEDERAL FUNDS will improve power services (and extra for consultants and new hires) but FUEL SURCHARGE remains, more suffering to the people. NO TO FEDERALIZATION! YES! TO FEDERAL FUNDS.
Nuclear Power: No offense Dr. Arkle but you probably didn’t catch our governor’s commonwealth address: WE ARE STILL BROKE and please make sure that a PUBLIC HEARING is held before our new unified lawmakers decide what’s in our best interest.
The governor must DECLARE AN ECONOMIC DISASTER. IT’S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. Our people have suffered enough and will continue to suffer.
