We can't legislate against every stupid thing people will do. The State of the State is jeopardized by this weak notion that taxpayers must step forward to provide nearly unlimited resources to anyone who faces adversity, who lives with circumstances they brought about through their own decisions, or who lives with consequences of choices to act illegally. Vote your conscience, not your caucus. You get the idea. The state had the highest voter turnout last year, aided by legions of young men and women who cast ballots for the first time.
