"Statehouse for sale...Statehouse for sale...anyone wanna buy a Stateho..."
Those might as well be the words coming out of a certain someone's mouth as these budget deliberations have unfolded.
I know I'm as old school as they come, but fair is fair.
When Householder was Speaker he was on the front page of "The Other Paper", had editorial cartoons on his fundraising in more than one major newspaper and story upon story upon story about fundraising in the House majority caucus.
What have you seen or heard on Armond Budish's fundraising practices??? Crickets. You have heard crickets...you could hear a pin drop...use any flocking cliche here that you want...they all apply.
You have heard absolutely nothing. Zero. Zilch.
Budish bends over backwards to try to appease gambling interests...out of the kindness of his heart...really? ... believe that and I have a bridge to sell you.
Budish takes Nursing Home love to an entirely new level...CHA CHING!!! ... because he cares for our elderly...is that a punch line to a joke? ...seriously? ... and the reaction from the mainstream media...
Absolutely NOTHING.
What if Householder would have done the things Budish has done in this budget? How about Matt's favorite GOP officeholder Jon Husted? Any Republican??? Give me a break.
I'm in no way, shape or form saying that the GOP has been filled with saints in the past, but there were stories (and a lot of them) and now with Budish allegedly taking "pay to play" to new heights all we hear from the mainstream media is...
