Wasn't the budget passed despite JBE? I remember JBE bitching about a ton of cuts that were made but specifically spending cuts to Medicare or Medicaid because we would lose out on the federal Match.

If I remember correctly he also bitched because they refused to allocate 100% of the projected funds and instead budgeted for 97% of the projections because we've been consistently short of the projections the past few years.

not really. The legislature is as awful as the governor. They pretty much refused to cut anything. I set in almost every Rev and Risc and Ways and Means hearing. Up would come a great plan to cut some bs tax exemption, or frivolous spending program, and it would get deferred.
