[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3047251, member: 3099"] That be the mantra. Of course reality is that they just spend too damn much and I couldn't begin to tell you where it all goes. To hear it told our schools suck. I know for a fact that our roads are an embarrassment, bridges are about to fall down, etc. in spite of perpetual construction. For contrast on the county level, in my work I travel over a good portion of the state. Some courthouses in little podunk counties are very nice and well maintained while others in larger more "prosperous" counties are falling apart. For some with the money they bring in from oil & gas filings alone they could build a brand new courthouse every 5 years. The filing fees in one week would replace the worn out POS copy machine in the county clerk's office, yet they can't get the funding approved for a new one because "it's just not there". Where it all goes, nobody knows....You can just extrapolate that up to State level and you can see the problem. [/QUOTE]
