>>>Which are the up to 10 states that are not running a deficit?

According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, it’s now up to 44 states facing FY09 budget shortfalls. The six states ok for FY09 are Alaska, Texas, North Dakota, Wyoming, Montana and West Virginia. I’m guessing energy related natural resources are helping those states this year. With oil and natural gas prices coming down, they might face issues putting together FY10 budgets which start July 1.

The reason WV is in this group is because our “conservative” democrat governor put back a surplus for a rainy day.

Thanks. Given that list, energy revenues are likely the ‘culprit.’

I think it’s because of conservative government in those states.

Is it fair to say that all but one of these states are free from major expenses associated with illegal immigration?
