We need the government
Yahoo! News reports that there are a lot of new laws in all 50 states kicking in on the new year. This article gives a smattering of health care, tax cuts and other new state laws, but ends with the most interesting of them all. Government works long hours for us on tough issues!
Illinois approved a state amphibian, the Eastern tiger salamander, after it won 51 percent of Internet voters, beating the gray tree frog and the American toad. "The toad and the frog kind of split up the vote and allowed the salamander to slip in," Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn said.
I learned in school way back when that the government should do the things that we can not do better on our own locally, and should be done collectively. Perfect example?
