The Bah Humbug Award
Some quotes are too good to publish just once.
So, just in case you missed it in a Tribune news story the other day, here is one from House Majority Leader Jeff Alexander. He is responding to a question whether the House, like the Senate, would make private donations to help pay for emergency dental care for low-income blind, elderly and disabled people after Republican lamakers rejected a request for state funding:
"We have no plans at this point to give any money to this.... If there are any individuals in the state that feel a need to donate money to this, then great."
Alexander says the state Health Department already has authority to shift its spending priorities and fund the dental services. He calls the governor's plan to raise private contributions "a copout."
