It's a sad commentary on the ineptness and shortsightedness of our legislature.<BR/><BR/>Just to clarify, the casinos were originally slated to shut down because the Gaming Commission oversight people are part of the 35k being laid off. But the casinos got a judge to issue an order telling the state they couldn't shut them down, oversight or not. It has nothing to do with consideration for the school budget. In fact, if the shutdown lasts until October 20th, schools won't get their state per-pupil funding on time.Cynical Synapsehttp://cynicalsynapse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
