If any of you are confused by the title of my earlier post today – I apologize.  When I said “clean up your own mess”,  I was referring to testimony going on at the Assembly Public Safety Hearing today and a witness that admitted he was supporting a bill to “clean up” legislation he had supported last year that was supposed to “clean up” legislation that was passed to address a particular problem.  The specifics are not important for this post.

But when I started to vent about that situation which is chronic at the Capitol, I got off track with my thoughts on Rand Paul and his “special interest” comments.  And to me, the witness represented the typical special interest group that has job security since they rush to fix things in the area of public policy and term limits has enabled them to run the place.  So year after year, they sponsor legislation to clean up the mess they made the year or session before.  It is a cycle of madness.  And as taxpayers, we foot the bill.

Sorry for the confusion – I am still getting the hang of this blogging stuff.  By the time I do, I am sure there will be another outlet for my frustration.
