Critics, however, fear the state is moving toward use of bond money to pay current costs in an erosion of the state's pay-as-you-go philosophy.

Using long-term debt to pay current expenses is lunacy.

Oh I agree. But to a Rat its smart politics.

Using long-term debt to pay current expenses is lunacy.

Yep. I actually thought that it was prohibited by state law, but I must be mistaken. Either that or it's been gutted by the courts.

"Using long-term debt to pay current expenses is lunacy."

Lunacy for sure but when you consider how the average (stupid) citizen handles their personal finances they will probably all pass in November.

Personally, I have never borrowed a cent for personal consumption and haven't had a mortgage in years and object to having to pay taxes to finance the desires of the "have to have it now and cost doesn't matter" idiots that are allowed to vote.
