Shut 'er Down

When asked what I think if the budget impasse in Lansing cannot be fixed by midnight on September 30, I say shut 'er down! Do we really care if the DEQ is operational on the following Thursday morning? Or how about DLEG, or MEDC, or the DNR? Really? The only thing we can be sure of when our state capitol is open is that there will be any number of folk working on either regulating us more or devising new ways to tax us. I'll go out on a limb here and suggest that, given the current political climate, a majority of conservative and independent voters would prefer you all take a collective break and leave us alone. Let's extend the August break a little longer. When you are not there we are not getting screwed!
