Do you really have to ask why media were silent? They're looking after a democrap in office, of course.

This may actually be necessary, with the state budget the way it is. Or should I say, isn't? When do the state legislator's start having their salary docked for not passing a budget, like happens in Tenessee?

Even the Wall Street Journal is silent. I don't know about Investor's Business Daily, since I don't subscribe any more.

When do the state legislator's start having their salary docked for not passing a budget, like happens in Tenessee?

They are paid monthly, as I understand it, and will not be getting a check at the end of July.

STATE CONTROLLER KATHLEEN CONNELL OUTLINES RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH BUDGET DELAY

"Unfortunately, legislative employees will once again become early victims of a no budget scenario," said Controller Connell. "If a budget is not passed by July 12, these individuals will not be paid. Similarly, vendors that serve the State will begin to face cash-flow pressures, with local governments following shortly behind. Each day the budget stalemate continues, more people, businesses and local programs are affected. And, every day of a delayed budget draws closer the possibility that Court action could cause the rest of the State's workforce to be paid minimum wages."
