The state budget has been upside down ever since the governor's tax plan of 2012 passed and kicked in three years ago, dramatically lowering income to the State General Fund -- by about $900 Million year.
The state has survived financially only by using up every dollar in the state savings account, by raiding other funds to shore up the general fund and by borrowing on next year's income. Now the governor is doing more of the same.
Billboards around the state remind us of the Highway Robbery -- the taking of $1 Million per day from the State Highway Sales Tax Fund and the cancellation of highway projects which were promised to every county in the state when we passed the plan.
