LOL! So, now it’s “extremist and doctrinaire” to insist that spending on high-priority projects should be funded by cuts in low-priority projects (instead of Tax Hike Mike’s preferred method of, well, tax hikes).
"Low-priority" denotes a priority. Also, it takes the passage of legislation, to eliminate state programs. Arkansas had about a 6:1 Democrat majority.
Furthermore, the Arkansas Constitution requires a balanced budget (or a surplus). At the end of his tenure as Governor, Arkansas incurred a surplus. Mike Huckabee suggested it go to elimination of sales tax on food.
Keep on digging though, if you need.
