. . . on the same page as the cartoon babylonsister posted. The problem isn't actually "tax reformers." It's the Lege literally robbing the funds out of the LiteUp program, two years after they swore (let's all laugh together here) they'd never touch the money.

"Those of us blessed with the ability to pay such a modest amount should do so willingly, in service to our less-fortunate fellow citizens. "

Thing is, Richardo, we have been and we will. It's built in. Nobody gets to opt out, and serious shame if they wanted to. But, hmmmmm, where is that $7.80 a year going from here on out?

They pulled the same shit with CHIPS last session and were force to restore some funding this time around. Hopefully, LITE-UP will be restored as well. Sorry thing is, it's gonna take the publicity generated by heat related deaths to, well, I was gonna say SHAME these cretins into doin' the right thing, but . . . and hell forbid they sould listen to their constituents.

What a sorry bunch of maroons.

(Yes, I know how to spell moron.)
