Davis is also hoping to stir up outrage over the estimated $35 million cost of a special election at a time when the state is facing a $38.2 billion financial crisis.If Davis is blaming the R's for $35 million, then who gets the credit for the other $38,165 million in red ink? DAVIS!
This may not be a very sound strategy, they must be very desperate.
Even I can think of a comeback for this --- if your house is being destroyed by termites, would you spend a few hundred for an exterminator?
People don't understand the scale of the state budget. To them, $35m is a lot of money.
Whenever I hear this argument, I point out that $35m is less than $1 for every resident of the state. And then I note that $38b is over $1,000 for every resident. Would you pay $1 to save $1,000?
You be the judge :-).
