What do we want to bet on as a "fix" this time?  Will the sales tax on services be dragged from the grave?  Will they double the already-crippling SBT surcharge?  Will the state stop bribing "cool" new industries to come here?  Will there be a sales tax increase, or an income tax increase?  

I didn't mention cuts, because with the Dems in charge, I don't see 1.2 Billion in cuts happening.  

Of course, if there is a silver lining to this ever-growing storm cloud, the Dems are either going to have to turn into fiscal conservatives pretty quick, or risk a real PR disaster.  The last thing people want to see is their taxes being jacked up during a major recession.  If that's what the Dems insist on doing, I think it'll come up once or twice in '10.
