Much to everyone's shock and surprise, Fast Eddie and the GA didn't get it done so the furloughs have taken effect. Too bad these workers didn't have the good fortune to work in an area with as much pull as the casinos. Granted, I'm happy for the guy sweeping the casino floor, but it's nice how we can overlook a little thing like the law in order to keep the cash cows open.
Speaking of cash cows, it's very enlightening to see which state services made the "essential" list, and which did not. Out of the following, which do you think should be candidates to be considered essential, and therefore remain open?
- Inspector General investigations and prosecutions
- Highway department road maintenance
- Driver license centers
...or...
- Liquor stores
- Lottery
- Casinos
OK, I know nobody is going to die because they can't get their driver's license today, but it's the principle of the thing. Combating public fraud is nice and all, but dangit, there's just no money in it.
