Oct. 8th, 2003 10:18 pmThe 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.

On the other hand, boy, won't we for sure have shiny new bridges/ballparks/caps on property taxes!
