Capitol View

The hole keeps getting deeper. Remember when I suggested someone should give the governor a shovel so he could dig a deeper hole for himself?

That was when he had refused to read a published report on high levels of nitrates on his pig farms because it was written by “someone from Communist China.” He subsequently refused to apologize to the reporter with a Chinese surname who is a graduate of an American university and has been working for news organizations in the United States for several years.

Then came Governor Jim Pillen’s mandate that all state employees should work from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in an office so they can be face-to-face with the public.
