The sad "end' of the legislative session

Maybe a recap of the legislative session isn't appropriate yet, the Governor says the legislature should come back to "finish" casino legislation, but the senate president says no way. There is already lots we know--lots to think about.
We know that, although the session began in January 2009 and every one knew it would end on July 31, 2010, our legislators waited and waited and waited to get down to business. We know that the recession started in 2008, but our legislators waited months to do some thing about economic development and foreclosures. First, they raised taxes including the sales tax and imposed a tax on alcohol. They failed to deal with the structural budget deficit, which next year will be about $2 billion, and they did nothing to start to cope with unfunded pension liabilities. They refused to deal with the sky rocketing costs of health care that are crushing our cities and towns. This summer when you see your legislators let them know that they let us down and that it's time to get people in there who will get results or get out of the way.
