Look for the PFD to be taken from children either totally or partially. As destructive as that might be for the kids children can be treated differently under the law,  children don't vote,  and the votes of angry parents will not offset the votes of those who have no children.  Besides, most legislators won reelection by not addressing much of anything including this fiscal issue and that lesson will not be forgotten.  Nothing prevents these legislators from holding hearings between sessions so they could have been working on this fiscal issue since they finally adjourned ; however, they prefer to create deadlines that either force decisions at the last moment or (better yet) allow them to avoid decisions altogether.  Lastly,  they can do more than focus on one issue at a time.  They already tried limiting the agenda last session in the House and, except for absolving them from blame until after the election, that tactic failed miserably.
