‘Coma Failed To Name This Post, So I’m Going To Call It George

Cronyism. Yep.

The state stopped offering free golf to its former governors, and I think it should do the same when it comes to free rides for past top executives. Providing transportation to official events and when safety considerations require an escort is fine. Otherwise, this is an unnecessary expense for taxpayers and, as noted in the paper, at least the appearance of cronyism.

Rob breaks it down at Think Train.

But, but, Ned Ray needs a $100K per year state trooper to drive him to the doctor. It’s not like one of the richest men in West Tennessee can just pay somebody, is it?

I was thinking “I’m gonna love him and hug him and name him George.” But Steve works, too.

Must quit compulsive blogging at MCB.

My “Steve” reference came from Over The Hedge. It’s my favorite line in the whole movie. :-)
