State Paleontologist must be juice job
April 10th, 2007 . by Mark Warden
Who knew that one of Nevada’s most pressing and urgent issues was our lack of a state paleontologist? Thankfully, someone has come to our rescue and has written a BDR (bill draft request) to authorize this new position. It will rank right up there with the state climatologist for “why on earth do we need that?” status.
Of course, your blogger — a self-degreed porkologist — wonders what really is behind such a move. No doubt, someone with close ties to the education monopoly elite has a buddy who is looking for a job. Seems there’s not much work lately in the private sector for fossil diggers. So he gets a politically-connected cohort to float a bill to just manufacture a job and have the unknowing taxpayers pay for it. Sweet deal, huh? I wish the state would make me the State Blogger and give me an office and salary and all of those nice government employee perks like PERS.
SB 135: Creates the Office of State Paleontologist within the Department of Cultural Affairs. (BDR 33-210). For more details, link here.
