Gov. Lynch is still peeved that he couldn’t get his sticky fingers on $110 million the Joint Underwritering Association ("JUA") that he decided was his from sheer dint that he couldn’t balance his budget. Now that the Judiciary has smacked his knuckles with their ruling, as the actual owners of the fund decided to, you know, defend their private property, he still can’t let go:
CONCORD — Attorney General Michael Delaney is urging lawmakers to block a proposed settlement that will pay lawyers $27.5 million out of a $110 million malpractice insurance fund.
…Attorney Scott O’Connell of the Nixon Peabody law firm in Manchester said Delaney’s arguments are off the mark. Since the JUA is not part of state government, he argued, there is nothing in state law that requires the Legislature to bless the deal.
Still, Lynch and his mouthpiece (hey, remember, another member of the media that went to work for a liberal Democrat – how often does that happen??) still believe the money really belongs to them:
Lynch spokesman Colin Manning said the proposed settlement is a bad one for taxpayers.
Right – well, is Gov. Lynch now going to work for tort reform that would "fix" this problem? My take is that there is no problem for Government to fix, other than Lynch got
Why can’t democrats trust their own constituents to do the right thing? Their first response to every problem is to institutionalize it with more government, typically as far up the legislative food chain as possible. That means as far away from you as they can manage, even to the point of giving control to unelected bureaucrats you can’t punish, just to keep you from messing with it. They entrench it in a bureaucracy, make it impossibly inefficient and expensive and then refuse to let anyone touch it ever again, while charging you more and more to maintain it.
The left always considers any comment by clergy, in the secular affairs of state, an affront to imagined Constitutional separations unless the remarks support their positions. Such is the case with the Reverend Gary M. Schulte of the United Church of Christ (UCC). With a fusion of left wing talking points and liturgical flair, he leapt the imagined Jeffersonian separation of State and Church, to 
Government is a necessary (preferably limited) evil, laid out like a salad bar. There are all kinds of services your tax dollars pay for. Some of them are for “just in case kinds of things” like public safety. Then there are roads and schools and clerks and so on. And then there are unemployment, welfare, heating aid, and a host of social support services, and the cost of the bureaucracy itself. 
Democrats continue to insist that they created jobs. To do this they extracted trillions from our economic future in an effort to create jobs that did not yet exist–that perhaps were not needed yet. Looking at similar exercises, cash for clunkers–which moved car sales forward a few months but has since resulted in a collapse in the market; the home mortgage bail outs, supports, credits, and the "home affordable" programs which improved home sales briefly but which have since collapsed (also to historic lows); and then there’s the stimulus, several public sector employee bailouts, bank lending infusions, small business bills, and everything in between including health care reform–many trillions spent, all made with claims that they would create, save, or incentivize job creation.
Don’t expect ShaHodeSheaPorter to wrestle with this conundrum; while running for office in 2008 they insisted that the Bush Tax cuts were "for the rich," or "the wealthiest Americans." The class warfare rhetoric made the case that Republicans didn’t provide tax relief for anyone else, and the democrats promised to remedy this the moment they were elected. The result was to embark on a multi-trillion dollar spending binge that cannot possibly be paid for without taxes on everyone and everything–though they still insist otherwise.
