    so we just raise fees all over the place? how were they able to handle it prior to? where did the budget change that they have to increase fees 100%? if i were the people, i would be protesting and putting a referendum on the books for a vote. how did all these states function last year, that this year, they have a major deficit? were they under one of these deficit swaps and lost money? did they rely too much on the funding from the stock market? where or what is going wrong? we need an overhaul of the men in power and the budgets they are producing. we need to get reduce their salary. i think if we reduce it by 10%, they would still be ok and see a great reduction in costs.

    State revenue is down across the board. High unemployment mean less income tax coming into the state coffers and sales in general are down – homes, automobiles and personal goods are not moving like they once did, so less sales tax is coming in. So, yes it is reasonable to have a large, unforeseen deficit in these economic conditions.

    Why not a shoe registration tax because not everyone owns a car? $5 for one legged people and $8 for two. (two leg discount) WHY NOT CUT THE BUDGET!! LIKE THE AVERAGE FAMILY HAS TO DO WHEN EXPENSES EXCEED REVENUE.
