Another Budget Post

The state budget impasse continues. This evening I was out at an organization meeting and one of the people there also volunteers at a foodbank. She said they were really hurting, especially with no state money coming in.

John Micek wrote a great post today over at Capitol Ideas on the problems daycare centers are having with no state money. it's a wonderful explanation of the snowball effect this is having.

As for myself, I'm still waiting for public school funding. My kids will be going back to school soon, theoretically at least, and we're still waiting for state funding. I don't see any way, at this point, that schools can really open and be ready to go, with teachers, textbooks, ids, etc. as if nothing were wrong.
