The state gov't if a shutdown became necessary, could shut down all their multitudes of Commissions to study things like blueberries, etc.or Dept. of Actuary or maybe cutting the Gov's staff instead of only shutting down things that affect the public in the most hurtful ways and  make tax payers cringe! 

As for funding education, McCleary was particularly vague and that has made it very difficult for the legislature to come to some agreement on what things like "basic education" means.  Of course, I am not sure why legislators don't go ask local classroom teachers what it means!
