"Their unyielding posture against any taxes, at any time, will have dire consequences for this state."

Correction: soon-to-be ex-Gov. Davis, but your unyielding posture for taxes will have dire consequences for this state.

It's unyielding now, because this problem could have been avoided or at least curtailed, long ago if he had told the truth. Only after he was barely re-seated after a nasty, vicious smear campaign against any and all opponents, did he reveal the truth of the depth of the budget crisis. My point is - if there is a looming problem and it can be resolved, then put it on the table and deal with it. Now this act of desperation because of his dishonesty, sell-outs to speciala interests, hideous energy negotiations, downright margin 'betting' on revenues that weren't there except on paper, and complete mismanagement is supposed to be paid for in spades, by us, now that it's spiraled out of control. I'm reasonable if I'm presented with an honest problem. This is not the case.
