They have many Ideas except for the only budget cut that makes sence to the regular people on the streets.Lets try to cut representive pay and extra benifits they abuse while in office,make choice that benifit the people not hurt the student and the families that live in our state. Sure with prices going down in gas you representive want to tax the lowering gas prices, why is that re figure what you think is important at look at this like you live in the real world,that includes any politition that thinks they can play games with the money they do not diserve.
thanks you

"Support additional revenues" - you mean taxes, right?
Why is it that we require citizens to balance their own budgets and don't expect the same from government?
You're collecting less sales taxes? Tough, spend less. Property taxes are down? Tough, you should have saved some of those when property taxes were high.
If you want to support public school, tax people with kids. Idiots.
