My state’s declining revenue and budget shortfall has been front page for the last several weeks as the state senate worked on its new budget proposal.
Almost all (95% or so) of the serious proposals and discussion to deal with this are centered on “new sources of revenue”.
There is almost no consideration of real budget cuts. The few that are proposed are ploys, simple postponements of expenditures, or in areas where they expect, or hope for, an injection of federal funds to replace the cut funds.
What state do you live in?
are you in MN ,too ?
