Politico golfs while government lays off thousands

Posted by Fired Fred on July 12, 2007 4:30 PM
Pennsylvania's capital is in a massive mess. They can't hammer out a budget, which meant sending some 25,000 workers home without pay.

Not all the lawmakers in Harrisburg were diligently trying to get past the impasse...
As people went unpaid and waited to hear the fate of their jobs, one local lawmaker continued with his golfing plans.

Democratic Rep. Mike Sturla hosted a political fundraiser on the golf course.
Those laid off workers probably weren't invited, because, hey, they aren't getting paid, how could they possible donate to reelecting this pasty Tiger wanna-be?

Neither a couple of other Democratic representatives nor Democratic Governor Ed Rendell had any comment on Mike's short game. As if that's some kind of surprise.
