But it's not just the Governor's fault, in fact most of it is not.

For example, the Democratic legislature is just horrible. And who is in the majority? It isn't Republicans.
Any executive can only do so much with a crappy legislature. The voters need to give him something to work with.

The governor proposes and approves the annual budgets.The governor can veto any legislation and the legislative Democrats can't override the veto.

Please take your head out of the sand. Yes,bordergal, most of it is the Austrian's doing
