[QUOTE="Fritz the Cat, post: 148607, member: 605"] PG, I'll give you an example. The proponents of Measure 5, (the oil revenue rip off) petitioned for 5% of the oil revenues to be diverted away from the General Treasury into their coffers. The Gov's office panicked that the proponents may get $100 million so the Gov's office compromised by creating the Outdoor Heritage Fund at $10 million per year. After everyone had agreed to support the Gov's office it was stampeded up to $15 million per year right before the Bill was introduced. There is an old saying, "when you compromise you lose." Every subdivision, industry or agency knows this. If you want a million, ask for ten. Want ten million ask for 100. So now you ask, "what did the Governor and legislature blow it on?" They spent it on what the people demanded. Much of it was spent on infrastructure that we were behind on. Last night I was at a legislative social visiting with a gentleman on Appropriations. He has to make cuts and it's going to be hard. Cut someone else's program.......just not mine. [/QUOTE]
