Grandstanding

The public veto of the proposed tax hikes by the governor is plain grandstanding. Vetoing tax hikes is okay but what alternatives does she have? She hasn’t put an offer on the table to any of the public unions. She did not submit any plan to the legislature. If she has a plan to handle the shortfall let’s hear it. Her only plan that has been articulated (in the media) is share the pain.
It seems that it is the only thing she is looking at. But what pain? She and her appointees are taking a 5% cut. What isn’t said is they have already gotten a 9% cut. Which works out to a @3.5% raise. And in the papers she is asking for public workers to take a furlough that would amount to @12% cut. If this is sharing the pain I am willing to give more pain to the governor and her appointees.
And where is the LG? Is this problem too complex for him? Where is the leadership? Leadership is making hard decisions. After talking of a $2 billion shortfall why does it all hinge on a $278 million dollar takeaway? Show me the math.
