With next year just around the corner, we will continue to invest in these areas, move our economy forward, and make sure we are financially prepared for the unexpected.”

Might be good time to trim some stupid stuff and pass along these revenues to teachers, county governments, city governments for fire and police salaries. I imagine they will be using this as good example for cutting taxes on corporations and more TIF funding to let the homeowners pay for companies coming to town giving out minimum wage salaries to the thousands of people that will hired. Wow, so generous. Wait, maybe they will give all the legislators trips to Florida to attend a meeting with Don the Wizard.
