a new day (or not)

After approving generous pay raises for themselves, state administrators, judges and unionized public workers, legislators failed to pass a promised hike in the state's $7.25-an-hour minimum wage. It set the theme for this year's Legislature: Let them eat our shorts.

The so-called "bird poop bill" to regulate the feeding of wild birds on private property died when House and Senate negotiators couldn't agree on its wording. It was only a matter of time before our legislators made it official that they can't get their poop together.
