The legislature, in its infinite and collective bi-partisan wisdom, pushed through onto the ballot a fat, bloated so-called "water" bond. With literally billions of dollars of wasteful spending inside of it, we have dubbed this $11 billion package the "Water Porkulus" — and feel strongly that it should be rejected by voters.
Apparently the proponents of the Porkulus are very concerned about how voters will receive this big Christmas Tree of legislative spending, because now they are advocating that it be moved off of the November ballot, and kicked to 2012. We say that the package should be pulled all together, as a menace to both taxpayers, and to real cost-effective solutions to our state’s water woes.
FR’s cartoonist, Eric Eishenhammer, has drawn up a great cartoon on the water porkulus, we hope you enjoy it…
