The States: Mad Scientist Laboratories of Democracy

In Michigan, we now have a ban on local plastic bag bans. Apparently, that was a priority. But Flint still doesn't have clean water.

Baraga, which is on the eastern route into Houghton/MTU, is home to a state prison (though the big one is over in Jackson), and the cheapest gas in the Keewenaw. Big surprise that you don't need a diploma to be a prison janitor, cook, gas station cashier, etc.

So, let's all point, laugh, and be elitist. ;)

The least educated county in every state, courtesy of a realty site. Essentially, "don't move here."

Starr County, TX (the second to last dot) sounds like a special place.

MN's entry into that list is Nobles County, all cornfields and McDonald's. The "big" town there is Worthington, with a population ~13,000. You don't need much education to work fast food or work a farm you've been raised on your whole life.

I think all you need to know about the silliness of that article is that if Kalawao County in Hawaii (population, 73) can just get that Mahelona family of five non-high school graduates to move to the next county over, Kalawao County will replace Connecticut's representative as the best educated.

Would not have guessed that. Worthington is actually a serious town in its own right and not far from either Sioux Falls or Sioux City.

By those standards, the study is valid for 49 other states.

Besides anyone living in HI is automatically smarter than anyone posting in the Minnesotans arguing about the weather thread (including myself).

Guess which state let their stop gap budget expire and doesn't have a fiscal budget, and won't for a while. Again.


*sigh*

Our dumb *** of a governor in Maine is freaking out because our new recreational marijuana ballot initiative didn't explicitly prohibit underage possession consumption so he wants lawmakers to put a moratorium on recreational sales. How hard is it to pass a bill that adds marijuana to the current underage possession/consumption laws already on the books regarding alcohol?

The state Democratic org is dead in the water. Can't foresee anything less than an Republican sweep of the state gov't in 2018. The only positive thing going is that two years of Trumper horsedung in Washington should aid Stabenow in getting a 4th term in the Senate.

But, but, but Snyder just signed a law that will protect Michigan residents by requiring municipalities to notify residents within three days of a federal test if there is contaminates in the residents water.

Then when Republicans in Congress defund the federal testing program they will have solved the problem.
