Dear Taxpayer: BOHICA
Here's a little proposal I'm sure all Minnesota taxpayers and voters would support unanimously: spend tax revenue on building and supporting websites for family members of elected officials. After all, the minor quibble about the voters not having voted for those family members can't be enough to complain about, right? And the state has plenty of extra money, right? All the school districts statewide are fully funded, every city and park has all the money it needs, and all the highways and bridges are in top-notch repair, are they not? Those family members would never use state resources simply as a ruse to generate positive propaganda for their elected parent or spouse.
So why not? We're a generous state, right?
What's that you say? Family members of elected officials are simply private citizens like the rest of us? And they shouldn't be abusing and using state resources that we taxpayers worked so hard to provide? (Anybody out there want to pay more taxes?)
Well then...
What the fuck is up with Mary Pawlenty, the governor's wife, having a state-created and maintained web site?
