Resolving to Elect Better Leaders »
It is no secret that one of the things that elected officials do is pat each other on the back. But they also pat other people on the back. If you have spent any time looking around, you've undoubtedly seen a resolution of some sort of another that in the end does nothing more than waste a bunch of time.
The state legislatures are especially fond of these. When I lived in California, you could find these resolutions about anywhere. I was pretty young, and I'll admit to not looking into it much, but I think you can get a resolution passed by the state for just about anything if you know the right person to ask. It seems that this even extends to the county level, if you live in Mecklenburg.
