What amazes me is how the leaders of that state see there is no options in front of them yet they won't vote to cut spending. It would seem to me the best choice would be to take an active roll in the spending cuts so you might be able to protect a few key things that might otherwise get cut as opposed to just standing around and watching as it happens then complaining later.

But then again I guess that goes with the whole making sense thing and most of our elected leaders will have no part of making sense.
