Maybe we can try cutting spending instead of a bunch of new taxes.

Send your recommendations to the governor.

He and the legislature cut nearly two billion out of the budget two years ago, including some CHPS funding that included therapy for handicapped kids.

What else would you like to cut?

I have sent it to the governnor along with a letter asking not to be bother with any requests for support in the coming election. As things stand I will not vote for anyone for Governor. We have an 8 billion+ surplus that should be used along with cuts. Starting with cuts in school administrations.

"What else would you like to cut?"

Lets start with any state or federal benefit for any illegal alien.
Then cut the staff of the Highway department by about 50%
Mostly the huge throngs of useless engineers that do NO engineering work, and draw salaries in the range of 100,000
per year. Then start looking at the overlapping levels of bureaucracy in all the agencys. Most have commissioners, bureau chiefs, asst bureau chiefs, executive officers, assistant executive officers etc. that are all appointed by the administration as political payoff. Most have little or no knowledge of the function of the agencys they "work" for.
All have salaries in the 100k range.
As a former state employee, I have a good understanding of how most state agencys are structured.
