No sympathy needed.

It is interesting though, that California, with a Republican governor, decides to raise taxes...

While Maine, with a Democrat governor, decides to make CUTS IN SPENDING!

I think Baldacci actually should be congratulated... as he’s very likely now to be called a DINO by all the DUmmies.

the cuts come first, THEN the tax hikes come because, "there is just no other way."

democrat, republican. does it really matter anymore? the faults of the huge federal gov't have trickled down to the states.
