BANKRUPT ILLINOIS TO SPEND $750K ON NEW GOVERNMENT SHRUBBERY PROGRAM
By Kristina Rasmussen, EVP, Illinois Policy Institute -
Illinois may be broke and its credit rating may be in the tank, but that isn’t stopping state legislators from creating a new “Forever Green Illinois Program” that would provide for the “maintenance and beautification of greenery” on state or local government property.
Just in case you were wondering, “greenery” includes grass, weeds, trees, shrubs, bushes, plants and other plant material.
The House has appropriated $750,000 from general funds for grants related to the Forever Green Illinois Program.
Illinois’ fiscal house is on fire, and politicians are planting flowerbeds in the front yard. This is what happens when you bail out bad spending habits with a 67 percent income tax increase – the irresponsible behavior only gets worse.
Stay classy, Springfield.
JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WHY WE GOT TO SEND THIS GUY PACKING.
The propblem is that Quinn is just a professional bureaucrat. Never held a job in private industry.
ReplyDeleteWent to hit a bucket of balls last night at Stoney Creek. The guy wanted my name and phone number before he rang it up. I'm not kidding. They want my phone number in order to hit a bucket of balls.
ReplyDeleteI think you are on the wrong blog. What the hell does this have to do with the post above?
DeleteWe should put that shrubbery where the sun don't shine.
ReplyDeleteDid you tell them you were Claude Raines?
ReplyDeleteYes we need to replace him, but with whom? Lisa Madigan? Bill Daley? Either one of these clowns could be worse. Unless you can convince your "Proud Union Home" neighbor to stop drinking the Union koolaid and vote Republican - then nothing will change. They do not seem to get the connection between the way this state is being run - and the terribly high numbers of union carpenters, electricians, concrete, plumbers, roofers, etc....who are not ....and have not worked in a long time. During ALL this time Democrats controlled the Presidency, Senate, IL Governor, IL Senate, IL House, Chicago Mayor, Cook County Board etc..we need to convince them that the Democratic Party is NO friend of the working man.
ReplyDeletethis is what happens when Demo-homos run things.
