This Chronicle story on new state laws that take effect in 2008 reminds me of something I meant to pass on before Christmas.
One of the new laws requires most employees of a school district to be fingerprinted for a background check. When the story first came out a couple of weeks ago, I heard Michael Berry doing a promo for his afternoon show, asking if the new law was another example of Big Brother running amok.
This from the guy who said that anyone opposed to red light cameras was obviously in favor of people running red lights.
Sheesh.
