Yankee Doodle dumb bill coming your way
Pre-filed bills for the 2009 Kentucky General Assembly will start popping up soon. In a state that would benefit tremendously by the implementation of a few free trade policies, we sure don't need to get bogged down by something like this:
"It was seeing foreign-made American flags at a veteran’s memorial ceremony that inspired a West Virginia legislator to act.State Del. Jack Yost (D), a former Army reservist, recently proposed a bill that would require that all flags purchased with state funds be made in the U.S.A.. He’s not alone — lawmakers in nine other states also have moved to restrict sales of foreign-made flags."
This is exactly the same reasoning that has us bogged down paying a prevailing wage premium we can't afford.
