Vacation more important than fixing service tax issue

Surprised?


It appears the state Legislature isn't ready to finish work repealing a much-criticized services tax.


Both the House and Senate canceled sessions that were tentatively set for Tuesday.


The sessions would have meant interrupting a two-week break held each November. It's still possible the House and Senate could be called back into session later in the two-week period.


They said that last summer too. Don't hold your breath on that one.


Guess fixing their mistake wasn't that important after all. Sorry, business, you will just have to wait.


Lessenberry had a good scribble on his wall today-


Balancing the state budget has turned into a remake of the Night of the Living Dead. Just when you think the last stake has been hammered through the heart of the last deficit vampire.


No. This never ends. That is just the way the Senate wants it- nothing will ever get done, and then they can complain about how bad things are. Look for this pattern to continue next year also.
