While all the noise is about the coming election, Statehouse insiders are looking at spreadsheets on revenues and wondering what’s going to happen once all are elected, have their new business cards printed up and have to figure how to run things.
The best guesses so far are that for the remaining nine months of this fiscal year (which started on July 1), there’s going to be enough money to keep the lights on, the school district payments made, most of the business of the state…well…in business.
So, figure that the state is going to stay in business at least while the new legislators are getting acquainted with lobbyists and sorting out the local after-hours restaurants.
