David Adams If the legislature could rob Peter to pay Paul, the current revenue situation might not be so frustrating. However, we are faced with the prospect of robbing Peter and Paul and still not having the funds needed to do the other jobs. Funds are very, very tight due to revenue cutbacks and we are going to experience program cuts and even program elimination. Our tax base and taxable income is not going to keep up with present spending levels. Even if taxes were increased for the coming year, there will be further reductions in state services. Funding is just going to get tighter and tighter. The legislature adjourns February 26. However, I anticipate that the governor will call a special session this summer to deal with budget problems caused by further revenue erosions.
