The Governer-elect says he will "find the fat" in the state budget.

Hasn't he been paying attention? Thanks to our gee-golly wowsers, "vote yourself more bread and extra circuses", proposition based, power to the people legislative process, more than half of the budget must be spent. You can't trim those parts; the people voted it that way last year or the year before, or the decade before. the law is on the books and in the electoral record, and tough cookies, all you fiscal weenies. On the other hand, boy, won't we for sure have shiny new bridges/ballparks/caps on property taxes!

Cool! I've been waiting for the loglo to appear ever since I read Snow Crash!
