Any MY POINT is that the governor tried to make some legitimate cuts that were overridden by a political system that is a disgrace. The two cuts I cited in particular reveal all that needs to be looked at. Until the majority numbers are diminished and the speaker is replaced, we will not enjoy a legitimate legislative system in this commonwealth. The fact the legislature so swiftly overturned the will of the people also speaks volumes. Steve Smoller

It's not a question of whether any of the cuts were rational or all the overrides reasonable, it was simply two parties going their own way and making a hash of it. My point is that I think the numbers have less to do with it than party politics in this state, and I don't think the governor is immune from the disgrace. On the contrary, if he had real issues to present, he should have done so and fought for them, and not made absurd cuts just for the sake of making political capital.
