"... Now that we are only twenty-two days from another potential government shutdown, the leadership has agreed on a deal for a budget that looks balanced, at least on paper. They managed to do this by playing accounting games, using money meant for other purposes and the legislative equivalent of baling wire and string. The one good thing about this budget is that it apparently provides the $84 million in matching funds the state needs to get almost half a billion more from the federal government.
Your lawmakers came perilously close to throwing that away. Economists I respect tell me, however, that this budget is not really balanced at all..."
