Yep, that was here, and with the current governor (WI). Lame-duck crippling of the governor's (and AG's iirc) powers, and their reasoning that one asshat gave was that, "well we trusted Scott Walker" (the guy who killed unions here and crippled the economy) "but we don't trust the new guy coming in" (Tony Evers, a Democrat). It was bullshit of course.The same kind of shit happened when that one state elected a Democratic governor and the Republican legislation pre-emptively stripped the powers of the Governor's Office prior to the new Governor being sworn in.
A vote for the GOP in this day and age is basically a vote for blatant corruption.
In some states they are, but this is mostly in Democratic controlled ones. I think this boils down to the fact that Democrats are more concerned with good governance than Republicans are.Why is this a thing? Why arent borders for voting areas not made by some dry and dusty civil serves admin dept?
“Democracy” it’s a tradition (and a stupid one) that goes back to the earliest days of this country.But why are politicians in charge of the mechanisms of government?
Sounds like they need to use Snapchat like the drug dealers. Auto delete feature.Isn't there a law about service providers having to retain data for a certain time? I'm pretty certain that I heard a palaver about that awhile ago.
If Dopey Mcfucknuts thinks that just deleting the messages off his phone makes them go away he's probably in for a hard lesson at some point!

Its not criminal. The legislature has simply exempted themselves from records retention. This isnt exclusive to AZ either. And Im with Democrats on this one...its bad legislation.It's criminal not dumb. Dumb is like passing a law to make a national strawberry day, not clearly setting the stage to cover up crime
Legislatures having the ability to shield themselves from public records laws is not unheard of. State legislators in Wisconsin have enjoyed the benefits of such a loophole since 1982, when the state’s open records laws created an exemption specifically for them.
Minnesota, Iowa, Oklahoma and Massachusetts also have laws in place effectively exempting state legislators from public records requests, according to record request nonprofit MuckRock, though it remains exceedingly common for legislators in states where such exemptions don't explicitly exist to avoid complying with public records laws.
