this is how you find out which governor has been bought by the Teachers Union
Mich, Hawaii, and of course, Chinslee
I had to go to DOL office in person today (FML). The offices are appointment only. The nearest location's soonest available appointment was March 15. Next closest had two today with just enough time to get there. No other availability in February. And the "service" itself is even more useless than before. Double-masked AND face shields, AND talking from behind plexiglass barrier. Couldn't understand a word. On the way out, the woman checking people in outside stopped me, pointed at the INSIDE checkin functionary, "Did he tell you that you could leave?"

"I dunno, I'm leaving."
Would be such a fun exercise to zero base budget this state. Let those department heads come up and pitch their budgets and prove out their ROI.

I thought the only place you had to ask permission to leave was jail ??
Kuddos for not dropping a GFY bomb. It definitely might have come out of my mouf at that moment.

You mean like they did in Idaho?
Where they just cut taxes, are sending a one time rebate to taxpayers and still have a budget surplus?

Curious, did they do a real ZBB process? Should be done every 5 years to reset priorities and clear out the commies. Nothing more fun than doing these in the private sector and watching shitty marketing people defend hot garbage.

I don't know the specifics on how they got there -I seem to recall departments had to trim something like 5 to 10% when the shit hit the fan in early 2020.
Geezus, our CDC burns not only our tax dollars but extracts hundreds of billions out of Americans for Big Pharma. NASA is just one big piece of bureaucratic sh*t. The only thing that really works is Elon Musk's SpaceX. Now we are supercharging crony capitalists unicorn projects by creating more bureaucracy and a 1,000 new hires who will get hired because they can't get a real job in the private sector.
DOE makes changes to manage $62B in U.S. clean energy investments
Feb. 11 (UPI) -- The U.S. Department of Energy has announced an "organizational realignment" to ensure it has the structure needed to effectively implement the clean energy investments in President Biden's infrastructure law.
The new organizational structure establishes two Under Secretaries: one focused on fundamental science and clean energy innovation, and the other focused on deploying clean infrastructure-supporting DOE's ongoing work to achieve carbon-free electricity in the U.S. by 2035 and a net zero economy by 2050.
"The bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Energy Act of 2020 supercharge [sure] the Department of Energy to propel the U.S. economy towards cheaper, cleaner and more reliable energy," U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm said in a statement.
The energy department said these new offices will strengthen partnerships with states, communities, and industry to streamline clean infrastructure deployment and enhance domestic manufacturing.
"Our strategic realignment optimizes the world-class expertise of our talented staff. It builds new efficiencies across our enterprise and will maximize our ability to accelerate the technologies needed to grow clean energy jobs and fight the climate crisis," Granholm said.
The organization change provides an Under Secretary for Infrastructure, a position formerly referred to as Under Secretary for Energy, and an Under Secretary for Science and Innovation.
In January, the Department of Energy launched the Clean Energy Corps dedicated to fight climate change. It plans to make 1,000 new hires for the corps.

Better than nothing, but the commies can just leave the DEI stuff and cut actual useful services. Real ZBB would make peoples heads explode. Someone should run on that platform for governor somewhere.
A small group of fringe weirdos that can wear their masks in perpetuity. Let them march around and show off their strangeness. It won’t make a difference. Everyone is done with this shit. Three weeks ago 85% of the parents and onlookers at my kids basketball game were masked up. Today 85% were maskless. It’s over.

The math here is specious at best.
I actually think the deferential is greater.
