Same thing happening here in WA state - despite a so-called freeze. The march off the fiscal cliff continues.....

Davis proves that he has about as much skill at fiscal responsability as Pataki in New York.

Ken Mandler, publisher of Capitol Weekly, has a different reason for disliking the administration's hiring freeze claim. His newspaper subsists on advertisements for state jobs. For months, Mandler has been running articles to persuade his readers, potential job seekers, that the "freeze" is not real.

"Nine out of 10 people will say there's a state hiring freeze," he said. "They just saw the headline. Politically, that's the only thing the governor needed."

This says it all!

The Davis administration says the freeze was never intended to cover essential government functions.

So, am I to assume they're hard at work eliminating the nonessential functions? Shouldn't a public servant like the governor protect taxpayer interests by eliminating every damn thing that government needn't do?

Sometimes I crack myself up.
