Taxpayers Spend $2.3 Million to Defend Fumo
ABC 27 has a story on the amount of OPM - "other people's money," i.e. taxpayers - used to defend former Sen. Vince Fumo, who was convicted of illegally using OPM: $2.3 million.
That's quite a bit of money, to put it in perspective (and to give some ammunition to Kevin Bacon and the "Save the Govies" cause): it would nearly be enough to fund the Governor's Schools of Excellence program for a year.

Cognitive dissonance. I love it.
Or maybe, we could repair a mile of highway, or paint part of a bridge, or use the money for some other core government function.
I mean....it's just a thought!
