Fact-checking the Debate II

Rep. Jan Angel spoke just now about the will of the people, who she believes oppose new revenue to support the kinds of spending programs everyone around her seems to be relying on. Curiously, she mentioned a daughter who is in a STATE-FUNDED retraining program to become a court reporter.

The irony was somehow lost on her when she next pointed out the two rental properties she owns... and how her two renters receive public assistance TO PAY THEIR RENT TO HER.

Not to be outdone, Rep. Armstrong just lamented the increase in higher ed tuition that he's paying for his two kids to attend college. Tuition that, by the way, was increased last year when the Legislature cut higher ed funding to balance the budget.

Oh, Irony.
