I do routinely take some delight in skewering the General Assembly for their foibles – the budget and ethics laws are usual targets. However, credit where credit is due: The General Assembly appears to have passed a budget that everyone can live with. It’s a budget somewhat reduced from the proposed 2 year budget but it’s a bit higher than was thought some months ago. Hopefully Terrence will see fit to sign it. We also have ethics legislation that passed. It wasn’t as tough as I would like but that’s the way government works…compromise.
Thanks to our guys, Jackson Miller and Mr. Colgan for their work in Richmond.

Yes, good work on passing a balanced budget without a squabble, and ending a day early. Now for the "fun" at looking what mandates were slipped into the Budget language…some have funding; many have not. And that, aye…there be the rub!
