A few months ago I was talking with a gal who works as a campaign manager for local politicians, and she told me that Napolitano had run the state into debt but that it wouldn’t be until the next governor comes along for all her expenditures to take effect. You know, pass spending bills now to make voters happy, and then set a date at some point in the future for the bill to be paid.
Everyone is currently aware that she’s running the debt into the ground. She was in the black, then went onto her pet projects like All-Day kindergarten.
