State Senator receives MacBook Air, gets mad

With the state of the economy the way that it is, one might wish to believe that government agencies and groups would be cutting down on extra expenses. However, this isn’t so when it comes to our State Senators. According to the Omaha World-Herald, they have purchased 70 new MacBook Airs at a price of $1,524 each, or a total price of $106,680. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but if I got my own new MacBook Air for free, I would be ecstatic. However, Tony Fulton of Lincoln, Nebraska isn’t all cheers about this. He believes the Legislature could have easily purchased less expensive laptops that would be able to do what they needed for just a fraction of the cost. He does realize, though, that the “… decision was made with proper authority,” and although he doesn’t like it, he will “… accept it.”
