# - Our unemployment rate is the second highest in the continental US # (tied with Michigan at 7.2%, Alaska being at 7.7%, as of Dec. 2003). # - Our state government is barely getting by and trying to tax the hell # out of everyone to make up for their overspending. There have been two # tries recently to scare us into paying more taxes, and voters turned it # down. # - Our governor is a lethargic showpiece that hasn't done anything since # he's been in office. # - Funding cuts are going on across the board for state, county and city. # - Schools are getting the worst of it, they are horribly underfunded # and aren't getting any better.
Other than unemployment numbers, you've described Georgia and, I'd wager, many other states, too. I agree: it sucks. -- Jonathan Daugherty http://www.cprogrammer.org "It's a book about a Spanish guy called Manual, you should read it." -- Dilbert _______________________________________________ PDXLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pdxlug.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxlug
