Playing games

"I will never play political games with people's careers," Green said.

-Rep. Mark Green on cutting state employees in the Capital Times.

Lest anyone think Mr. Green is a hero of the public employee, don't forget he has made another statement that renders this statement completely false. Green's stated support for TABOR and all the other versions of the state limits on local spending will force the layoffs of public employees all over the state.

In other words, Green wants to try to make County Executives and other local elected officials do the hard part of cutting jobs while he boasts about how he cut spending.
