This is why we need more leaders and less politicians in government! Leaders make tough decsions today so that tougher decsions do not have to be made later. The longer these people kick the can down the road, the worse the situation will get, and more painful the solutions will need be. When the primary desire of a politician is to stay in office or move up the ladder, it is time to vote them out regardless of party!

It is not a mess, it is a strategy. Speaker Donovan is just biding his time, waiting for the state’s financial hole to grow so large that only one solution remains: raise taxes and, especially, implement a graduated income tax so the ‘rich will finally pay their fair share.’

Well said. If the legislature were serious about its constitutional obligation to balance the budget, it would be meeting around the clock to find savings. With barely four months left in the current fiscal year, it is clear the legislative supermajority intends to Do Nothing about the deficit.
