We recently had a tragedy in the area in which I live. Our local politicians have used this as a photo op. Our lame excuse for a newspaper has placed the person responsible for this tragic event on the front page for the last 4 days. Instead of focusing on the people and lives which were shattered by this event (they are lucky, they get media attention on pages 3 thru 5 "insert sarcasm"), the media has decided that it needs to reiterate over and over again the events of that day. 13 people died, 14 if you count the gunman. Why focus so much on him, and not the innocent lives of people who were trying to help others make a better life for themselves. It makes me sick. This state and it's politicians need a reality check. Our wonderful governor has put a near bankrupt state into bankrupcy. The politicians keep making up taxes to help pay for their pay increases and benefits. We have the sin tax, the entertainment tax, thank goodness they removed the obesity tax. We now have a tax on bottled water and our cigarettes have climbed to a whopping $6- $11 a pack, depending on which brand you smoke. The area in which I live, our gasoline runs .10 to .15 cents a gallon more than the national average.The next tax will be on the air we breath, when they can figure out how to do this.
Okay, done venting for now...
