Government in the Land of Midnight Payraises Becoming More Accountable
Above Average Jane tells us daily votes for both the state house and senate are now available online. Thanks, Jane! I just looked at the daily session report, and better get ready for Lithuanian Independence Day this Friday! Celebrations better be in English, damn it.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
FtnHill Dem, Sveikinu! I will try to learn the secret Lithuanian handshake by Friday.
ReplyDeleteBernie Takes No Prisoners, That pension issue is going to bankrupt us. I suspect "reform" will come in dribs and drabs while legislators wait for us to lose interest. But when taxing authorities thumb their noses at the public, it's hard to lose interest. I was unaware that only 10 legislators refused that pension. Kudos to Lisa and to you.
ReplyDeleteNow please help her brother, who is trying to knock off one of the insiders who stuck a knife in Ann McHale's back. Will has not run for office in at least four years and has really matured. He could use your help.
Ft. Hill Dem:
ReplyDeleteMaybe there is something about our ancestry (I'm Polish/Slavish) that makes me so proud to work for Sen. Lisa Boscola (once voted Miss Slovak!). We believe in straight talk, hard work, and earning whatever you want in life--because no one is EVER going to hand it to you.
We came from the "wrong side of the tracks," from struggling, working-class families, and we were appalled at the "people at the top" who got there so effortlessly because their Daddy knew someone else's Daddy who knew someone else who knew...
I am proud of where I came from, because that has made me who I am today!

Bernie, My Blogging Hero!
ReplyDeleteI did not know that Will was running against the back-stabbing McLure! What a shock!! Wow!!!
Maybe Lamont should ask Ann McHale for her help in his re-election! I mean, "good" Democrats support fellow Democrats, don't they?????
Honestly, I would be torn... for about a nanosecond... between helping someone who stabbed Ann McHale (my good, good personal friend) in the back... and someone else...
Paybacks, Lamont, are ALWAYS a bitch! You should've thought of that when you did it. Too bad, so sad.

He never did anything for us. And he acted like he knew it all. I'm not voting for him and I never did
ReplyDeleteAnon, spread the word because McClure is going to try to win this election on the backs of developers and John Morganelli.
ReplyDeleteWill needs a boatload of help getting his petition signatures - and he could probably use an infusion of cash.
