And the winner is...?

A majority of voters bought (hook, line, and stinker) our new governor's Plan: he pledged to reduce the cost of state government, cut taxes, create new jobs, improve education for all our children, conserve the environment, and leap the Capitol in a single bound. The same recycled, tired litany of empty promises made during every campaign by every candidate from both major parties. Never once did he even intimate how he intended to accomplish his grandiose agenda. Now we've got the next four years to bear the inevitable yoke of dissonance between rhetoric and reality. Americans love fairy tales but seem to forget that in many bedtime stories there's a monster lurking in the closet!
