SWOONING

The sheer, unadulterated level of GOP corruption is literally making me swoon as I type these words. The Repubs, with some significant level of enabling on the part of select Democrats, are undoing a social contract that dates back not just to the the Eisenhower and FDR administrations. Some of what has been lost is a century old and more, like the right for state workers to collecrtively bargain in any meaningful sense. Ah, but I digress; this particular link concerns the unspeakable, institutionalized graft that is being written into law this spring. http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/bail-bondsmen-lake-michigan-among-special-interest-items-in-budget-plan-b9927006z1-210231371.html
