Good thing we screwed our retirees to give money to the "job creators". Maybe we can get some more money from cops and firemen to fund some other non local private industry, hey they dont need it curt schilling does.

This Governot seems to relish doing things on his own, without the General Assembly, Judiciary, or a significant portion of the population of the state. I have no particular opposition to marriage equality; I am of the opinion that the State should keep its nose out of the private business of the citizens in this matter. I do fear, however, the actions of an executive who rules by fiat. When the executive of the opposing view comes to power, the same people who are now celebrating, will be appalled at identical, but opposite, actions. As far as this Governot is concerned, maybe we should just forget this Rhode Island stuff and change the name of the place to Lincolnia.

“COLORADO PERA AND THE QUEST FOR ACTUARIAL NECESSITY” by A. Moncrief

It was the ninth year of the new millennium and deep in the bowels of the PERA administration building, long after the private equity guys had left for martinis at the Cruise Room, PERA’s legal staffers remained and practiced their dark arts.

Methodically, these alchemists of jurisprudence closed in on the formula for that most mysterious and invaluable of substances “actuarial necessity.” The young lawyers worked feverishly recalling the words of their PERA Board Chairman “Get me some actuarial necessity or it’s you’re A**! Capice?!”

Months passed, but eventually their efforts bore fruit, and the formula for “actuarial necessity” was determined. A misty-eyed PERA legal staffer presented the formula for “actuarial necessity” to the PERA Board.

“Combine one part Subterfuge, two parts Duplicity, stir, don’t beat . . . add five parts Collusion, sprinkle one part Chicanery, blend four parts Treachery, and three parts Deceit . . . in the caldron boil and bake, cool it with a retiree’s blood!”

The PERA Board was euphoric, the Board Chairman remarking “I’m proud of you son, you have the makings of a General Counsel!”

This discovery rocked the State House.

The prospect of limitless state resources triggered widespread bipartisan rejoicing. The Doctor of the Day could not staunch the bleeding of the liberal hearts. The conservatives celebrated with a welfare mom open pit roast.

Within the year, the General Assembly had launched its own facilities for the manufacture of “actuarial necessity” in the Capitol’s sub-basement.

A new legislative era was born.

In order that the Members of the House of Representatives might easily know when an “actuarial emergency” exists, the Speaker of the House installed a flashing red “actuarial emergency indicator light” on the podium. A low siren sounds when the “actuarial emergency indicator light” is illuminated (a nice touch, lending an appropriate “crisis” atmosphere to the Chambers.)

Under newly adopted House Rules, when the indicator light is flipped “on” an actuarial emergency exists, and all legal state debts and obligations may be met with “actuarial necessity” in lieu of hard cash.

The state’s Revenue Forecast became “the Revenue and Actuarial Necessity Forecast.”

The state’s economists observed a strange correlation between dips in state revenues, and spikes in state production of “actuarial necessity.”

The Appropriations Committee became the “Committee on Appropriations and Actuarial Necessity.”

The House Journal of January 17, 2013 provides an excellent illustration of the new law-making environment.
Journal of the Colorado House of Representatives, January 17, 2013

Speaker of the House: “The House will come to order.”

“The Speaker recognizes Representative Tubstrangler.”

“Ah, thank you, ah, Mr. Speaker, ah I request that the actuarial emergency light be switched on, and that we pay for the new overpass at I-25 and 128th, sixty percent with cash and forty percent with “actuarial necessity.”

“The clerk will switch on the actuarial emergency indicator light.”

“All in favor?” “Opposed?” “The ayes have it.”

Contractors Association lobbyist in the Gallery: “Bummer.”

“The Speaker recognizes the Representative from Pumpkin Center.”

“Excuse me Mr. Speaker, it’s pronounced ‘Punkin Center.’”

“The Speaker refers the question to the Interim Study Committee on Municipal Nomenclature.”

“Thank you Mr. Speaker, I move that $100 million in state revenue be distributed among Aspen homeowners who are over 65, and that the actuarial emergency light be switched off.”

"Motion passes without objection.”

“The Speaker recognizes Representative Pace from Pueblo, ‘the Home of the Heroes.’”

“Mr. Speaker, I move the PERA Annual Required Contribution Act, and request that the actuarial emergency light be switched off.”

“Clerk, switch off the indicator light.”

“Point of Order Mr. Speaker!”

“What is it Representative Prim?”

“Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleague from Pueblo refrain from the use of obscenities on the House Floor.”

“The member will watch his language.”

“I will Mr. Speaker, I bring before you the Ann . . ., er, a bill to meet this year’s state obligation to our pension system, Colorado PERA.”

“Mr. Speaker, as you know, I have introduced this legislation each year for the last decade, each year the bill has been summarily killed; nevertheless, I intend to continue to introduce the bill until it receives the serious consideration of this body . . . and I now move for its adoption.”

“The Speaker recognizes Representative Welcher.”

“Thank you Mr. Speaker, I offer a substitute motion that the Colorado PERA Annual Required Contribution Act of 2013 be postponed indefinitely, and that the actuarial emergency light be switched on.”

“Clerk flip the switch.”

“All in favor?” “Opposed?” “Motion passes.”

“Yes, Representative Pace.”

“Mr. Speaker, in the spirit of compromise I move that the General Assembly initiate a study of the Ann . . ., er, the state’s pension obligations to be called the Interim Study Committee on Public Pensions, and I further move that you appoint such a committee.”

“The Speaker recognizes Representative Tubstrangler.”

“Ah, thank you, ah, Mr. Speaker, I stand to remind the honorable representative of the Democrat Party that ah, such profligate appointment of unnecessary study committees may very well be the ruin of our fair state.”
Speaker: “Representative Pace’s motion dies for lack of second.”

“Anything further Representative Tubstrangler?”

“Yes, ah, Mr. Speaker I move that the following bills be added to the Special Orders Calendar; the ah, Colorado Commie Higher Education Annihilation Act of 2013, and the Colorado Omnibus Corporate Welfare Act of 2013.”

Mr. Deckman:

I take your comment to mean that there are other pressing issues to focus on? Sure.

But make no mistake, the fundamental civil rights of Americans are always a pressing issue. Some say more pressing than anything else can be. If you are denied liberty, freedom and equality, all the economic prosperity in the world can't make up for it.

It’s time to get ready to send your kids to summer camp. There are so many things to do! Where do you start?
First, delegate some of the work to your nanny. Your nanny can call the camp to see what supplies the children will need to bring with them, whether/how much money they’ll need to have, and what clothing the children should pack. Your nanny can then set about the task of assembling the clothing and other supplies that they will take with them to camp. (Make sure that pre-addressed note cards and stamps are among the assembled items.)

Second, have your nanny schedule play dates with at least some of the children that they will be spending time with at camp. It’s always helpful for them to reconnect with their friends if the school year has diminished their contact.

Third, you and your nanny can address any fears or concerns your children may have about going to summer camp. Some children experience separation anxiety, so reassuring them is key.

Fourth, have your nanny coach them about summer camp hazards (sun burn, poison ivy, etc.). Make sure that sunscreen lotion, any needed medications, etc. are packed for them.

Fifth, take them to camp... http://tinyurl.com/22v97zb

Classic "Little Man Syndrome" strikes again. This self-proclaimed business genius apparently learned nothing from the last election, contrary to what he has been saying. He continues to approach the electorate as a "Punk Know-it-All", with a hot head and a giant ego, despite the fact that he still does not have two nickles to rub together.

He needs to pay off his last election debt/loans and move along. Rhode Island has already had enough of him... Top of the heap, all right..!!
