Come on MS. Giessel, be specific about budget cuts...put your money where you mouth is...put up or stand aside. Quit talking in generalizations. Show some backbone, just exactly what part of the budget do you wish to cut? Remember, "spending cuts" is really another name for JOBs.  It ain't all about the oil industry jobs. Why should those jobs be held in higher priority than a state job? Those jobs have people behind them. Single moms and dads, couples trying to support their families.
