It's such a small, predictable boondoggle that I doubt that anybody will be crying real tears when SB396 becomes law, which seems to be happening as I type. But it is a use of tax money that serves no obvious purpose--the statewide council does not actually provide services to beneficiaries and, in fact, diverts funds from beneficiaries who might need them. While "Agenda 21" and related legislation have hijacked everyone's attention this winter, the Tea Party's "Taxed Enough Already" theme calls for attention to small, predictable boondoggles as well.
