    Now all they have to rely on  is their  broken legislative system that cannot function to any degree absent the billions of dollars needed to fund the budget item quid pro quo exchange that trades funding for political loyalty and agreement.  That is the petard they hoisted themselves on just last week and they remain there now.   I have no sympathy for any of them because they have either actively participated in creating this unresponsive and ineffective state legislature we have now or silently tolerated its existence perhaps only waiting for their turn to be just as abusive.    Lastly, I am tired of having to hear how "put upon" they feel.  If any of them don't want to be there - a solution to that problem is rather apparent...........
