I was looking for something more positive than what Governors complain about as an unfunded mandate. <br /><br />The supposed mandate in this bill is very much like the legislature outlawing theft, but not permitting the police to go search a suspect's property. Then, if theft is proven, not specifying any fine or jail time. <br /><br />Tell me how that is good legislation or good leadership. No wonder you were so proud of your comment as to not leave a real name.Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15684763427526399228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497138.post-87796914756099344582009-11-23T10:21:12.914-08:002009-11-23T10:21:12.914-08:00Once again, your level of analysis on these water ...Once again, your level of analysis on these water issues is shamefully shallow. Did you read the bill, or just snatch snippets from both Huffman and Kuehl and start rendering opinions? I think I know the answer. Yes, the bill allows some agencies to "volunteer" to provide the data, as Kuehl points out. But it also MANDATES that the data be collected -- by the state if necessary. So Huffman is correct too. I know you are predetermined to rip Democrats and the water deal, but you should at least read the friggin bill that you're criticizing. If this is what passes for Green leadership, I'd say the 2 party system is here to stay.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
