Legislature Wants Your 7 Million for Rocket

 

Remember the soon to be razed Saturn rocket that sits in extreme Limestone County? Now state senator Mack Butler has declared since the rocket has been in place for over 40 years, it can't be moved without a 25K fine. Really, Mack? Even though it's supposedly about to crumble onto no one knows what below?

Have no fear; Mack and some of his cronies have a plan. For only seven million U.S. dollars, the rocket can be taken apart, painted/welded, and then put back together. Even better it won't "cost the state" since the legislature expects the adoring public to fund the work in a kind of GoFundMe scheme.

Is there anyone out there who thinks our state legislature serves its purpose? Remember, Montgomery already has one zoo, why do we need a second one?

A little quiz for readers: If someone thinks the word "swarthy" is a racial insult, is that someone male or female? We say he almost always has to be male. Which readers can tell us why?
