Boone County passes right-to-scab law; all hell breaks loose

The Constitution doesn't apply in Boone County. You may have already known that, after the time the county shut down Halloween festivities because they fell on a Sunday.

True to form, the all-Republican Boone County Fiscal Court unanimously passed a countywide "right-to-work" law this evening. To fight this unconstitutional political payback, about 250 opponents of this law packed the courthouse. There were so many that they spilled into the lobby.

When the Fiscal Court assholes approved the law, folks in the room yelled that they were going to move to Kenton County - where right-to-scab has reportedly been tabled.

Certainly, the government of Boone County should be overthrown. I won't apologize for saying so. Plus, today's development is also a clarion call for the return of militant labor unionism.
