Yes kids, that’s what dual Democrat control of your state legislature will get you….bagels, zippo, nada, zilch. Oh, and don’t even start thinking about talking the whole transparency angle. From the Review Journal:
Forget the rushed, haphazard approach of past sessions that so often resulted in Band-Aids for the present rather than long-term strategies for the state’s future.
By the end of March, Assembly Speaker Barbara Buckley and state Senate Majority Leader Steven Horsford declared in January, they were going to have a target for how much money the state would need to fund essential services.
By April 17, they would have a revenue plan: a proposal, including new taxes if necessary, for how to fund the government for the next two years. That would leave plenty of time to debate it and pass it on time for the June 1 adjournment.
