Hey HUD:
Don't miss out on my blog about Gov. Hoss's budget! Worthy of your attention. And even though he is a hoss, I think he is doing what needs to be done in order to fix the crisis at hand.
And if you look at budget negotioations in years past, he threatens to lay off or fulough workers now in order to use it as leverage to get other things he wants. He's even gone so far a few years back to canning everyone for a day!
In the end, new-hire freezes, early retirements, cutting back hours of some non-vital administrators, and the cutting of a lot of these other non-vital programs ought to do it.
So, my nomination is actually a group nomination--the idiot Pitt students, and others, who set fire to the couch and other stuff after the superbowl game. Is this really necessary? Why is it that when something great happens in the community people set fire to stuff? HOSSES!!!!!!!
The weekend came & went??
