why is a Democratic governor proposing the same thing? That is what really bothers me. There I was, so glad to have a Democrat in the governor's mansion, only to be slapped down by him after the first month.

The good news is that the Republicans hate Democrats so much that they are bitching about this plan, that used to be their plan all the way down to reducing corporate taxes. I have not been paying a great deal of angst over this until I see it moving forward.
