It can come as no surprise that those who lobbied loudest for tax increases to avoid cutting fat in Illinois state government will have no interest now in cutting fat.
We should expect no less a tantrum by our Kentucky taxers. Frankfort can't raise taxes this summer and they don't have the votes for slot machines. A lot of fat remains in state government, but they will have kids sitting three to a desk in schools before they admit it.
Get ready. This is going to be nasty.
