What was he supposed to do?  He can't create a budget himself - that's the legislature's role.  Maybe he should have let the government shut down, or defaulted on some of our debts, but I think he took about the only responsible option he had available.

Lazy and disappointing?  That would be the Senate Majority, who wants to basically do the same thing year after year until our savings have been depleted.  Kelly, Micciche, Meyer, MacKinnon, and the rest.
