Legislature out of control

Sat., Feb. 18, 2012

Oh, this Legislature, what a mess. They continue to override the will of the people who put them in office, ignoring the Constitution and Bill of Rights by passing bills endangering our families, children and parents with dangerous voter registration bills that open the door to fraud, trying to eliminate in-home day care centers, fast-forwarding same-sex marriage, talk of taking from the haves to give to the have-nots.

Their answer to reining in their escalating budget is to propose huge government infrastructure projects we will pay for! They don’t think they’re accountable to anyone!
