A "Do Nothing" Conclusion to the Session?
Speaker Pro-Tempore Jeff Morris raises the possibility in an interview with TVW correspondent Niki Reading. Consider this:
I think something that’s not been widely talked about is not adopting a budget at all is an option. We have a supplemental budget -– if we didn’t adopt one and if we got into a cash flow issue, the governor has the authority to start doing across-the-board cuts.
Q: Really? And that’s a viable option?
Morris: Well, if we can’t get people together with either an agreed to budget number or what taxes are need to buy state services back then that would be an option. That would probably be the most draconian but one that would be the most expedient.
Astonishing. And unlikely. I still think things will come together quickly in the next few days.
