We have so much going on. Our lovely governor and wonderful state legislature want to make a lot more cuts. Here are a few examples:
Cut over 1,000 spaces in Nursing Homes and Adult Day Care Centers. Close more RHC (Group homes for the extremely mentally retarded) Plus cuts to education. All of these will result in teachers and Health Care workers losing jobs. Cutting health care can result in deaths (and already has in at least one instance.). Cutting jobs results in less money in taxes, and less money to run government. We cannot keep doing this. Fight back, and push the Governor and Legislature to do the right thing.

We still have phones, and email. Let them know how you feel.
We need to get a decent version of a state income tax, while getting rid of the regressive sales tax. If we tax only the top 20% of incomes, not people, and applied this to both real humans and corporate, “Persons” no poor people would have to pay either.
