Yet another example of why the proper pronunciation for that state is "misery".

I guess they like sending as much money to oil-producing and refining states as possible, as well as shortening the lifespans of Miserians by reducing their opportunities to exercise and maximizing the amount of toxins in the air.

By the way, this sort of dirty-dealing is fairly normal in legislation. My local state senator used the same procedure to sneak in the "vulnerable road user safe passing law" six years ago. It requires motorists to give cyclists room to fall in their direction when passing. Too bad the police won't enforce it.
