Off we go to the great state of Illinois.
Meet State Representative Mike Bost who has had it up to here with pension reforms.

30 May
We’ve never been great fans of Mazie Hirano.
Her naked (sorry for that image) ambition leads her down the path of just about any election she stumbles across.
We interviewed her once on a radio show many years ago and it was a chore.
She was dismissive and utterly humorless.
Remember what they say about first impressions.
David Shapiro takes her to task in his column in this morning’s paper.

You work very hard for $1,000 a month.
You eat and live simply and manage to save some money each month.
At the end of the year – whatever you didn’t spend has to be given back to your employer.
