Just read the morning paper and see the recommended sales tax hike is now up to 6.25% (and rising?).<br /><br />It is beyond rational argument that these people do not know what they are doing! And, to make it worst, they obviously DO NOT CARE!<br /><br />Mr. Barfield: You have thrown your credibility and former good reputation away - you have now become a blood member of the group. Congratulations.<br /><br />And, Mr. Street, our Inspector General. Your appearance and speech at the Appropriations Committee this week was a thinly disguised effort by your puppet-master, the Governor, to quiet the Legislators by attempting to have them believe you have some type of jurisdiction and concern in the DHH federal grand jury investigation.<br /><br />Shame, shame, on you. Whatever credibility and trust you may have had left is gone. A federal grand jury and a criminal division of the Attorney General's office is actively investigating these matters, and you take upon yourself to go down and to admonish a legislative committee - like you have some oversight role in the investigations.<br /><br />What a clearly obvious ploy to try to keep the legislature, and the public, from knowing what is going on. <br /><br />It is embarrassing for our state for these kinds of things to continue.<br /><br />I would urge the legislators to call Mr. Street back to the Committee and question him on his motives and authority. I would also suggest that he and him office offer a great opportunity to save significant monies. I would urge the legislature to abolish it - not next fiscal year, but as soon as possible.

When you ...<br />I want to offer up a "thanks.'<br /><br />When you blast someone like Senator Kostelka, in your petulant shallow way, it immediately raises his credibility and character.<br /><br />For me, it makes his proposal one I must consider more seriously.<br /><br />That is the level you have descended to.<br /><br />Again, "thanks."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
