Budgets are shared, non-partisan pain–never easy for either party. This legislature is dealing with the reality of the present so our future doesn’t get bogged down. A tax of one-quarter-of-one-percent on those who can afford it is a fair solution.

It is good to see the reason for our “surplus” stated clearly, for all to consider. Hats off to the legislators who did the hard work to get a budget passed.
