GOOD GOVERNMENT = GOOD POLITICS
One of my favorite films is Monty Python’s The Holy Grail; the “bring out your dead” scene in particular. I bring that up because SB 280 (Marion County Fire Consolidation) is back from the grave. The bill was added Tuesday on to HB 1105, a public employees pension bill. The vote was 22-18 much to the chagrin of Senator Mike Young. Young was furious at the vote and was mad enough to chew uranium. Young has never been a fan of consolidation and smaller government.
So the fact that efficient government moved forward and Young suffered a setback is living proof that good government is good politics. Now let’s hope the forces against change don’t hit the bill with a shovel.
