For some legislators, there is no sense of urgency with regard to the unfinished state budget.
Despite the fact that the budget is the blueprint for state government, state Sen. Neal Kedzie, R-Elkhorn, actually went so far as to release a press release hailing the benefits of not having enacted a budget. Kedzie claims that taxpayers should celebrate because “more delay means more money in their pocket.”
That’s a little like someone who fails to make necessary repairs on their home and then brags about all the money they are saving as the house crumbles into disrepair.
