Actually, at the state level, it is the Governors reaponsibility to present a budget, which he did.  Then the legislature amends it, votes on it, comes up with how to fund it.  All of which they did, fully funded, with current revenue and savings ( The CBR).  The Governor didnt like that the legis did not RAISE additional revenue so he vetoed parts of the spending and raised revenue by taking from the dividend checks for this year.  A move that is fiscally unnecessary, but may be prudent.  Our savings will last another year or so.
