Budget? Anyone for a Budget? Please let it include some taxpayer relief! Every special group wants money, but even their reps don’t want tax increases. Nothing’s free! Can’t all these agencies, schools cooperate to reduce expenses? Doesnt it seem like they have dozens of everything, every function? State funding should come with some state oversight or rules at least. Stop building new stuff, renting space in 50 different locations to do the same thing and having the taxpayers foot the bill. Centralize. more online services! Get creative! Hang in there, well get through this. Thanks for coming together to resolve this mess.

Cuts have been made for years, but there are not enough cuts left to balance the budget. There no other way around it, we have to raise taxes.
