        start by cutting your own pension and benefits and ALL the cabinet and legislature. Lead by example!

        How about you pay for the pensions and not cut anything? People paid into those pensions and expect it the be there. Fund it.

        The rainy day fund is proof of over taxing. Those funds should be returned. For a Red state we sure act like we are Blue.

        Ok relying on pensions but I'm smart enough to know that can't last. Move all incoming state employees to a 401 or something .

        Mine worked out well for me, however maybe not for some. Something can be done that eliminates that off state shoulders

        How about reducing the size of state government? Start at 10%, or even 5%, then recalculate. Bound to be a smaller problem.

        I'm confident you will find a way to take money away from the retirement fund of state workers. Especially for border security ("the wall")

        I can tell you this. We are tired of being forced to pay for govt retirements when most do not any themselves. Shameful
