I'm sure Cuffy will make these cuts painful, especially if slots fail. He'll make sure it hurts so bad the sheeple will beg for tax increases.

Mr. O'Malley said imposing tax increases would be difficult after the $1.4 billion in increases last year.
So much for over $2 billion in spending cuts

What cheeses me off is that when the economy was on fire in the late 90’s and tax revenues were through the roof states had two sensible options:
1) Pay down debt or save up for bad times
2) Use the excess only for capital improvements not for reoccurring budget items. You can build a bridge or fix a road on a good year and create little spending burden for future bad years.
Instead they went ahead and increased funding on non capital projects.
