Oink If You Love Illinois!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I'll try and do a better job of staying current, particularly as the gubernatorial race draws near.

In any event, I stumbled across a new blog and the title of the post caught my attention. The bottom line is that the Virginia Institute for Public Policy produces a study on state spending modeled after the federal Grace Commission report of 1980's fame intended to issue recommendations as to where government can be made more cost-efficient for taxpayers.

As far as I know, Illinois doesn't have an institution that publishes a similar report. If I find that such a report exists, I'll certainly post a link to the report on this blog. Heaven knows we have plenty of "piglets" holding office in Illinois. Placating some of them is one of the reasons we just had an overtime legislative session! One might even say that wandering through the halls of the state capitol is not all that different then trapsing through the agricultural section of the state fair. Either way you might just get splattered with mud and filth by the resident mammals.
