Geee Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 and don't you know that there has been a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth and court challenges all year long - on the other hand the State budget keeps getting better and better.

Geee Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 It kind of feels like he's making a move that way, but I can't help hoping its not true. It would be too darn easy for another Dem to stroll in to the Statehouse. It's just too hard getting a Republican in there. You really can't count Tommy Thompson. He was more Democrat then Republican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
