Comment: I am legitimately torn here--on one hand, I'm glad to see an operating budget pass the House. There are only a couple weeks left, after all. 

On the other hand, this is a pretty shady way of doing it. No, it's not Mugabe-esque, or Pearl Harbor-esque, and such comments are lunacy, but it is pretty sleazy. I am disappointed in the House leadership for this tactic.

Come on, Legislature. Get your collective shit together. Work out a budget and avoid a shutdown. You wasted another year not solving the fiscal crisis, but the immediate problem now is keeping the doors open and lights on.
