It’s Thursday & the Day After the Special Session
June 25th, 2009 · No Comments

David Williams Has Absolutely No Filter
June 22nd, 2009 · 7 Comments
Really, what is it with David Williams’ lack of a filter? He’s apparently does this shiz just to come off as crazy. Or he really has no concept of what’s right and wrong.
Transferring $7 million in funds from the already-dying state employee health insurance trust fund to RACE TRACKS, no questions asked? […]

You Hear the Special Session Clock Ticking?
June 12th, 2009 · No Comments
We hear that State Senate President/King David Williams will shut things down on Friday if the special legislative session appears to be accomplishing little or dragging on with no hope.
