LOL. Our state legislators
LOL. Our state legislators were busy (not) last year. No Medicaid expansion. Instead, more guns in more idiot hands, which increases the burden on stressed ERs and rural hospitals that are becoming extinct. TNGOP logic at its finest.
And let's not forget school vouchers. And hiring an out of state consultant to advise on implementation, that said consultation will cost a big chunk of the voucher money. And proposing a voluntary charity program to shore up public education, because they took money away from public education for vouchers.
We're living under one of the dumbest, most ****ed up state governments in the nation.
