Do y'all realize that HALF of the state's budget for next year will be Medicaid? It's untouchable.

K-12 education is untouchable.

Money to local governments is untouchable.

Call a constitutional convention and tear that fricking thing up. I'm all in. Meanwhile, I am prepared to vote for some sort of reasonable gas tax, provided they can set up a lockbox in the state treasurer's office.

BTW, y'all need to vote for Julie Stokes for Treasurer. She is a CPA, very conservative, and very smart.

But isn't it mostly made up of federal funds?

Yeah, but only 2.8 billion of that 12 is general fund money. And only 700 million is dedicated. The other 9 nillion is federal funds.

I question Julie's conservative status. She likes taxes.

No. No. Sweet Baby Jesus No. And I'm a CPA who's excited when other CPAs get involved in politics.

But No. She's, how do I say this nicely, a lightweight.

You know how in every graduating class, someone has to finish last, but they still get a diploma? There you go.
