Mario Civera Budget Blunder

I had to laugh as Mario Civera appealed to the House for "physical" restraint for taxes. His own restraint of personal spending with your taxpayer money puts him in the top %5 of all legislative spenders.

Here is the latest report from the state on how much of your money Mario Civera spends on "Public Service Announcements".
These announcements are little more than state paid commercials.
I hereby ask that Mario stop this waste of taxpayer money, and demand that he explain why he abuses this program.
When the vote came up on the "Civera Amendment" it was defeated, but when the legislature tried to end waste of taxpayer funded PSA's, Civera voted no.
