Get PINKDOME Merchandise!

Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

Nov 30
Wednesday Musings

There's a hearing of the Joint Committee on Public Education and the Committee on General Investigating & Ethics that's trying to go after school administators that worked on behalf of their school communities during the sessions. Seems someone thinks it's unethical. I'd just like to point out that Todd Baxter is now officially registered as a lobbyist and will be making between $10,000-$25,000 for the last six weeks of the year. Pretty swank gig, you face a tough reelection so you flip your vote for the cable industry and bankroll once it's all said & done. Why are you going after school people and not that crooked dipshit? Maybe do a law that former legislators can't go straight into lobbying. I hear Andy Brown is saying something about that revolving door, maybe Bentzin will also cry bullshit at Baxter. I can dream, can't I?
