When in doubt, blame someone else
She blames the schools for taking “her” tax money. She blames domestic partners for costing the taxpayers money. Now it’s time to blame the state for their unfunded mandates.
Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks is taking aim at unfunded state mandates, as so many others in her position have done.

Unfunded state mandates, or programs that state government requires counties to provide but do not fully fund, include welfare, Medicaid and subsidized day care.
So, let me get this straight. Let’s stop paying for things where we help the poorest of the poor (isn’t government there for the purpose of helping those who cannot help themselves?) but let’s keep COMIDA fully funded and continue those free lunches for all of Maggie’s fat cat donor friends.
WTF?
Three words: “elections have consequences”.
