Similar to our Federal Government, it's an attack on multiple fronts and mostly to avoid even the slightest tax increase.

However, despite our personal concerns (we live in a urban area), those that will suffer the most are the poor, the children, the elderly and disabled in the remote country areas of the state. As usual with Republicans, they go after those with the least resources and the least voice.

The only solution to this cancer on our society is to vote out every damn one of them, although I can't be too enthusiastic at this stage. Many of these people have been brainwashed to vote Republican and are influenced mostly by their evangelical-minded preachers, a vast right-wing media machine and greedy/selfish local business personalities.

Very sad situation and it's pervasive around the country in rural, sparsely populated areas.......
