Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

Why you shouldn't hire a Republican...

If someone in your office came to you and said, "We have this new product we need to roll out. If we do it in May it will hit the budget at somewhere around $10 million. If we wait until November and roll it out with our regular Fall schedule it will only add a small incremental increase in the budget. Oh, the $10 million is not in our budget." What would you say?

The Texas Legislature says, "Whatever. It's not my budget, it's someone else's. Just do it. We'll be able to sell it as a tax cut!" Once again, irresponsibility comes to mind.

I especially appreciated the tone that Travis CountyClerk took with the legislature.
