The state's finances do not need to be restructured.  They need to be implemented. In January 2017 we had over $16 billion in reserves. Since appropriated funds are deducted from balances in appropriation, they're saying we only have over $12 billion.  Using those reserves, at $2-$3 billion, while reducing the budget at $300 million per year (a pittance in a $10 billion budget), would last us 10-13 years. Get a clue Mr. Herz and share the truth.
