As currently we are knocking on their doorstep to take over first place as the state with most fiscal problems.  The down side, is it will get worse before it gets better.  The upside we aren’t entirely helpless.  Maybe its time to take this as an opportunity to get creative or hell even innovate?  We have an unbalanced economy.  Let’s use this crisis to assure we fix that.

Our revenues and expenditures are completely out of line with one another.  We have trouble raising taxes because the 2/3 voting requirement.  We have mandates for health care and education that prevent from wholesale slashing of those budgets.  We can’t ignore the problem, because the economy wont be fixed in the near future.  So, what are you doing to get involved to help come up with creative solutions?  Are you working with your local government to change its situation?
