Sen. Alma Wheeler Smith, D-Salem Township, handed
out mock $2 bills with Engler's face in the middle.
She said the fake bills represent a budget that's "phony as a $2 bill."
Hmmmmm, do you think she meant "as phony as a three dollar bill?"
(NOTE:My idea for posting this came from the WSJ's best of the web, so I cannot take credit. I just wanted to share it with FR.)
(NOTE:Though Sen. Alma Wheeler Smith may be a member of a FR protected religion, I am not bashing her due to her choice of religion. ;-) )

Gov. Engler is trying to balance the state's budget with what he has to work with. The DumboRATs would raise taxes.

It's too bad that the Michigan legislature decided to piss away $110,000,000 of the state surplus fund on this:
Laptops sought for Michigan teachers.
I'll wager Ms. Alma Wheeler (phony as a $2 bill) Smith voted aye on this.
Face it, they basically traded the Merit Award Trust Fund for laptop computers for the 5th. highest paid teachers in the country (average $48,207, 1998-1999).
Now they (should) have to live with it.
Willie Green was absoluely correct in reply #37.
This is just a $110 million boondoggle by Governor Engler, using public funds to try to buy support for the Bush Campaign.
