No one is addressing the cost of government, the high cost of doing business here, the high cost of utilities, the high cost of property taxes, unfunded mandates, and unfunded employee contract "deals". The government can give but why, in tough economic times, can't government take away?

It comes down hard on business and they move out of state. They are not serving you, the Democrats or anyone else well, except themselves.
Unfortunately, those liberal Democrats are the ones that you have elected and they have been in power for several years causing the problems in our state.

We need to throw them out at the next election and vote in people who will put our state on a steady course.; May 5, 2010 at 6:58 PM
