With those remarks you sound like you would make a good future educator.

“Give us the money . . . regarless of where the source of revanue is from!”

Real deep thinking.

How can you budget, project,,what you don’t have? Obsessed . . . is that the right word?

At a time when citizens would give some sympathy to total tax reform, this Governor has one thing in mind.

Where did I miss something?

You’re kidding, right? A Governor presents a budget with 800 million dollars of revenue from a currently illegal source? Do Brer Jones and Tracy Farmer have pictures of this guy doing funny stuff with barnyard animals or something?

I would suggest legalizing pot, but based on this proposal they must have already done it and I just missed it.

Signed petitions are a waste of time. Get in your car and drive to Frankfort, but shame on you for not getting to know your elected official until it is too late..It is too late…but go ahead and waste your time. Too many programs and not enough tax payers..

Guys, this scares the crap out of me. I agree with another post, these guys really don’t have a plan.

To base a budget on “projected” incomes is a formula for disaster.

I guess Stumbo & Williams will have to make some very drastic cuts, because they sure aren’t getting help from the governor.

I’m a Bluegress community student – I love the college and really hate to hear more cuts could be coming. I think someone posted it earlier, but there is a petition going around about the cuts at http://transform.kctcs.edu. Please sign it if you support funding for higher ed. Gambling or no gambling, we need supported!

COT – Commonwealth office of technology application development can stop enhancing all the applications and support only the emergency fixes. This will save about 50 million dollars a year statewide. COT charges $75 an hour to each client (who other all other departments).
