It doesn’t appear that I have to plan for a forced vacation (government shutdown) like I did two years ago. But, as part of the final minutes ran past, there were all kinds of crazy bills that got passed. WCCO has a Reality Check that lists the following:
• $75,000 for a fish cleaning house in Warroad.
• $50,000 for an Iron Range Dog Club.
• $75,000 to improve the Chisholm city baseball field.
• $150,000 for the now-closed Hockey Hall of Fame in Eveleth.
There are a couple others that are a bit “iffy”. You will have to read them to see what I mean.
