Can you believe this, Rep. Leon Young introduced a bill to name a "State Motorcycle" ?

WTF is wrong here, is this really necessary? Wonder what Mr. Young is getting out of this.

They dream up this kind of stuff, but can't deal with real issues that need attention NOW!!!!

Nothing like wasting our tax dollars!

Will Harley be state's official motorcycle?

The Associated Press • February 4, 2010

MADISON — Milwaukee-based Harley Davidson would be named Wisconsin’s official motorcycle under a bill that’s gaining momentum in the Legislature.

The measure passed a state Assembly committee on a partisan 4-2 vote on Wednesday with Democrats backing it and Republicans against. It can now be taken up by the full Democratic-controlled Assembly.

It must pass there and the Democratic-controlled Senate before it heads to Gov. Jim Doyle for his consideration.

Bill sponsor Rep. Leon Young says Harley has been a good company not just for Wisconsin but the entire country. But opponent Rep. Joel Kleefisch of Oconomowoc argued that the designation amounted to just a “scrap or crumb” for the company that was hurt by recent business tax increases.

 
Well, I see my WI neighbors have their priorities straight. :rolleyes: All must be perfect in Sconnie, so they were brainstorming on what to keep busy with. Unfortunately WI isn't the only state doing silly stuff like that.

 
There is just too much inherent humor and "shaking your head at the gov't" sadness to be able to post on reasonably in less than 5 pages. Therefore I will refrain.
