Democrats ... say the state's problem is not reckless spending but a chronic shortage of tax revenue.
Not enough taxes is the Democrat way.

I’m glad I was sitting down to read that. A chronic shortage of tax revenue is the problem? Tax revenues have been growing every year, going back many many years. The problem is that actual and projected spending have grown faster than the tax revenues. It’s not that the revenues has dropped.

Some combination of tax increase and spending cuts will be needed to balance the budget. But it’s so brazen of the Dems. to say that the problem is not enough tax revenue is coming in.
