Quote of the Day: A church without a priest

by: Jason Springer

Wed Nov 26, 2008 at 11:52:03 AM EST



At the end of October, Agricultural Secretary Charles Kuperus announced that he would resign surprising many.  There's a pretty good story on his tenure and why he's leaving in the Philadelphia Inquirer including some of the back story regarding disagreements over the structure and funding of the Department. The board Vice President wants more of a fighter as Secretary and worries what will happen if they don't have it:
If the department's financial problems aren't fixed, "we will be left in the Garden State without a Department of Agriculture, and that's like having a church without a priest,"
With the way things are going in this state, I wouldn't worry so much about the priest as I would be guarding the holy water because Trenton is very thirsty and looking for just about anything that will do the trick.  I understand that they've worried about not having a separate Department of Agriculture and what message that would send, but while they're trying to protect the separate structure they may end up losing their resources to fund it.  What's worse, a church without a priest or no church at all?
