I was also there to witness this arrogant,self centered,holier than thou attitude of our elected officials and their appointees.It's all a game for them,the unions,and the special interest groups.I was there on 8/28,and it was the most disgusting scene I'ver ever witnessed,the unions and special interest groups were out on Beretania all organized with two pop up tents,food,drink,t-shirts,shiny signs,DJ playing loud music,huge trucks circling the capitol honking their horns.I was the only non-union person with a very small sign protesting this special session.I had union people shove their signs in my face and laugh at me.I witnessed a legislature go to the tent, shake hands with the union/special interest group to accept a snack and a t-shirt while the hearing was going on.I went into the chambers,and it was just as disgusting,the same old, blah,blah,and grand standing.Those that grand stranded the most still voted in favor of the tax hike. The People didn't show up,they only complain!
