Mr Groh, you go the entire column complaining about the "legislature's" inability to address the fiscal gap without once acknowledging the actual reason. Ferchrissakes, if you can't admit that republicans and their rigid ideology are the problem, then your column is neither informative or beneficial. In fact, by claiming the "legislature" as a whole is the problem is to succumb to the lazy, both siderist plague that has inflicted so many in this country.
