Every month, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research comes out with a Monthly Misuse, a reader-submitted example of legislative inefficiency. They're usually good for a chuckle and a sigh. This month's topic is the Respect Your Health! campaign. (Love the exclamation mark there.)Some highlights:
- $8,000 for 25,000 green rubber band style bracelets reading "Respect Your Health!"
