MJ Legalization is on the table in November. I guess we'll see if anyone is serious about fixing the money hole or not.

For the past year or two State employees have been forced to take 3 unpaid days off every month. It is my understanding that this is being challenged in court and the courts move slowly...but the Governor said that if he is Governor and he loses in court that he will simply begin laying off State employees to compensate...but layoffs/reduction in pay...may happen anyhow...even with the future Governor.
BTW...this affects Pathfinder's oldest daughter as she has a Masters Degree and is a State Health Official.
