Don't tell my state legislators how to run their office!
2010-05-13
In these days of crises and turmoil, it is hard to find a happy median. In the affairs of government it is no different. All that we see and hear is partisan bias. No matter the situation, nothing is clear and concise. Today's crises will be the coverup for the turmoil of tomorrow. It is easy to see why so many do not show concern for the affairs our government.
We have Congress claiming the atrocities of the lowly state assemblies. Yet, these same assemblies seem to be quiet on most issues. They tend to parlay the seemingly monotonous issues for those of more strategic importance. The matter of these issues may be as simple as a memorial or honor for an individual(s) to that of the assessing for the states' budget. Yet, the budget is an issue all in its own right.
A perfect example is that of Indiana's General Assembly undertaking the issue of the national mandated Medicaid issue. There are some members that are reasoning the options of this burdening program for that of a more efficient and less costly program. Sounds like the accountable and responsible way to take on such reasoning. Not to our hapless Baron “don't tell me how to run my office” Hill.
Mr. Hill, and his staff seem to think that Indiana's budget study in regards to the federal mandated healthcare was exaggerated. The study showed an estimated cost of $3.6 billion to the state. You would think that our own Congressman might find interest in the finances of his constituency. Well, if you thought that way, you were wrong. The state, in my opinion should assess the probable cost to its highest amount to be prepared. At that cost we would soon be following in the steps of California, and that is definitely not what we want. Or, is it? It might be asked of Rep. Hill (D), just what he intends for his constituency. If anyone has this answer, I would love to hear it.
It is definitely time for the careered officials to earn their pay. After all, I think there are a lot of people out there that would like to earn their salaries. Am I wrong? In Indiana alone, we have a large number of citizens that might like to have a raise, or even a mere paycheck. Perhaps, if it is not out of the question, we could actually be represented. Maybe that is asking too much.
In the case of Rep. Hill, “Don't tell my state legislators how to run their offices!”
