Item #1: Vt. scrambling to meet health insurance deadline:
Officials in the administration of Vermont Gov. James Douglas are scrambling to meet a federal deadline to offer health insurance coverage to uninsured residents with medical problems.
Right, because that federal guideline just kind of crept up on us and took us by surprise.
Item #2: Audit finds major, repeated problems in Vermont sex offender registry:
The audit looked at 57 individual cases in depth. Of those cases 16 offenders’ record had errors rated as cricital [sic], defined as the most serious mistakes, such as not including offenders who should have been on the list, and 29 more of those 57 records had significant errors.
But hey, it’s it’s important to have a sex offender registry so everyone can feel safe.
As a rule, we don’t ask people who hate kids to look after them. We don’t ask people who hate sick people to work in hospitals. We don’t even ask people who hate music to be dj’s.
So why do we elect people who hate government to run it?
There’s more deadlines being missed by programs across state government that will soon–if not already–lead to the forfeiture of federal dollars. And a lot of these missed deadlines–or the ones to come–can be attributed to staff depletion compliments of Governor Grover.
So why do people who hate government want to run it? So they can undermine it. Why do they want to wreck and ruin it? Because they are part of the “capitalist conspiracy” to destroy democracy, diversity and the middle class. “Sleepers Awake!”
Well said, Julie!
