The far-left wing, radical anti-fossil fuel Dems now in charge of all state government are spending it like crazy, but us poor taxpayers will eventually pay the price as they have passed legislation that outlaws fossil fuel electrical generation by 2045 (only windmills and solar panels), no matter that with the unlimited natural gas supplies we have generation that would be almost free except for the infrastructure. And, BTW, they took the opportunity to raise taxes also - we get a double whammy hit.

Because we like our cake buttered on both sides and to be able to eat all of it as well.

“The state will have an estimated $907 million in “new” money available”

And it never crosses their mind that a lean year will be coming, so they will spend every penny.

To liberals, more revenues = more taxes to collect.

They NEVER stop.

Build high-speed rail from El Paso to Farmington.
That should take care of the surplus.
Worked in California. /sarc

They have all that money to blow on worthless bullshit. Projects for their cronies that will never happen, highway repairs that cost way more than they should, and of course all those lavish trips and “conferences” for those in the government.

It’ll all be gone in 2 years. Just watch.
