DEL.ICIO.USJust in time for the resumption of hostilities
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Legislature reassembles today, and the only matter of importance is the state of budget-oriented tensions between House Speaker Glenn Richardson and Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle.
Blogger Jason Pye figures the fire could use a little more gasoline. He’s got a new web site, still being tweaked, called Georgia Porkbusters.
Just one suggestion: On the list of inappropriate pork-barrel spending, it might be wise not to lead off with a $24,064 expenditure for “the relocation and continuation of the Anne Frank in the World exhibit and for the operational costs of the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust.”

The tensions and disgust are not limited to the General Assembly’s leaders but rather between angry Georgia taxpayers and HB 94 and those legislators (the majority) who promised the voters they would be “fiscal conservatives” and “watchdogs of the public’s purse”. Memo to Georgia Senate: We’re watching and this week is the time to deliver on promises made.

It has nothing to do with it being Anne Frank, simply put it is a project that shouldn’t be funded by the taxpayers.
I feel the same way about the money being put forward by the state for Confederate battlefields.
