Such is the political and fiscal climate at the state Capitol among Republicans in the House of Representatives that even the idea of members approving a bond issue to pay for repairs to the building is a bridge too far.

Members recognize the need to make those repairs, estimated at $140 million — every day, they walk past areas that are cordoned off to keep visitors from perhaps being struck by falling debris. They just aren't going to approve a general obligation bond issue to do it.
Instead, expect the Legislature to shirk that responsibility and leave it to the voters to decide.

“I do support the people's right to vote on those kind of issues, and ultimately I think that that's probably the better way to go,” House Speaker Kris Steele, R-Shawnee, told The Oklahoman's editorial board... FULL ARTICLE

The end result is the same. If we go before the Ilgha war, we will notice the small ilgha wars inside the LF. But I am not here to dig the past and analyze every step made by Geagea or Aoun. I am just telling you in very simple English: People had enough with both. We had enough with their internal war inside the Christian community. You can point fingers at aoun day and night, I will agree with almost everything you say. A Aounist will do the same about Geagea and I will disagree with almost everything he will say. But I had enough of this. All of you should have enough with this. Geagea can go Baabda and shake hands with Assad. Aoun can go to Syria and shake hands with assad. Geagea can shake hands with Jumblatt and Berri. Aoun can shake hands with Nasrallah and Berri, . and yet you guys are still buying this stupidity of their internal fights and struggle for power while dividing the community???? Enough is enough. It seems you still do not want to get what I say and yet you say sitin sineh 3alayen . anyway, I will not go down to this level of language. Sooner or later you will wake up one day and say oh boy . .
