There is a consensus among the state’s leaders on three major points: The electorate will not take kindly to any broad-based new taxes, at least not unless we decisively curb practices perceived as abusive – unreasonable pension deals, overuse of police details, etc. Second, we need to find a way to control health care costs. Third, many legitimate state needs are unmet.
