Coyote

[ROCKSPRINGS]

California:

The Governor of
California is jogging with his dog along a
nature
trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks the Governor's
dog,
then bites the
Governor.

1. The
Governor starts to intervene, but reflects
upon the movie
"Bambi"
and then realizes he should stop because
the coyote is only
doing
what is natural.

2. He calls
animal control . Animal Control captures
the coyote and
bills
the State $200 testing it for diseases and
$500 for
relocating
it.

3. He calls a
veterinarian. The vet collects the dead
dog and
bills
the State $200 testing it for
diseases.

4. The Governor goes to
hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked
for diseases from the
coyote and on getting his bite wound
bandaged.

5. The running trail gets
shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game
conducts a $100,000
survey to make sure the area is now free of
dangerous
animals.

6. The Governor spends
$50,000 in state funds implementing a "coyote
awareness program"
for residents of the area.

7. The
State Legislature spends $2 million to
study how to better
treat
rabies and how to permanently eradicate the
disease throughout
the
world.

8. The Governor's security
agent is fired for not stopping the
attack. The State spends
$150,000 to hire and train a new agent with
additional special
training re: the nature of coyotes.

9.
PETA protests the coyote's relocation and
files a $5 million
suit
against the State.

TEXAS
:

The Governor of Texas is jogging with
his dog along a nature trail.
A Coyote jumps out and attacks his
dog.

1. The Governor shoots the coyote with
his State-issued pistol and
keeps jogging. The Governor has
spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow
point
cartridge.

2. The Buzzards eat the dead
coyote.

And that, my friends, is why
California is broke and Texas is
not.

I can tell you're just joking because in real life the governors security agent would never be fired over such a simplicity as total incompetance.

We are kinda broke though...

If we can succeed in getting rid of some of the state administrative assistants, and the assistants to the administrative assistants and their secretaries.

No offense to any administrative assistants out there.

Texas has to cut 27 billion from budget, Texas has to have a balanced budget, last year it was balanced , so why are we 27 billion short? Are they expecting a 27 billion shortfall in taxes for 2011 ?

I figured in TX they would have just shot the reporter. Then no one would have known anything about it.
