Why not do what Maine did the last time it hzd a deficit (one that I was there for)and impose a snack tax on everyone? No one could agree on what constituted a snack. Isn't that what you do when state revenues are falling--impose a tax?

Kinda, but here in Maine the government doesn't need a reason to raise taxes.
