I agree completely; there's no excuse for an adult man to throw a tantrum like a toddler. I don't agree with Bost politically, nor can I recall anything that he's accomplished in his career that has eased the grinding poverty in this area. MY gripe is that our high school is 92 years-old; it could be registered as a historical site with the state! Let some money from Chicago come down here for a change...our kids deserve it. That was the only point I was trying to make.

Spin as you want, she meant exactly what she said....

If your "we" meant the legislators, then why would they not tell us what was in it? The answer, they could not, can you guess why?

Which still isn't the truth. They don't have to pass a bill before allowing the people to see what is in it. If they truely had nothing to hide they could quite easily post the bill online and give anyone who wants to read it a chance well before they vote on it.

An asinine statement no matter how fancy you try to dress it up.

The bills are public, so why do we need them to be passed, in order to find out whats in it?
