How much does this cost the state????

I'm glad we got this worked out. Now maybe the senate can go back to working on the little things like the budget. What kind of message does this send to the citizens of the state. Can't get a budget done on time, but have time to work on the Fuzzy Dice Law UNBELIEVABLE
