QuoteThe governor predicted sales and excise taxes next fiscal year would produce some $98 million, well above a $70 million annual estimate given to voters when they approved the pot taxes last year.


Tax dollars for fucking DAYS.
We appear to be doomed by our DNA to repeat the same destructive behaviors our forebears have repeated for millenia. If anything our problem solving skills have actually diminished with the advent of technology & our ubiquitous modern conveniences. & yet despite our predisposition towards fear-driven hostility; towards what we anachronistically term primitive behavior another instinct is just as firmly encoded in our make-up. We are capable as our ancestors were of incredible breathtaking acts of kindness. Every hour of every day a man risks his life at a moments notice to save another. Forget for a moment the belligerent benevolent billionaires who grant the unfortunate a crumb of costfree cake. I speak of pure acts of selflessness. A Mother who rushes into the street to save a child from a speeding vehicle. A person who runs into a burning building to reach a family trapped on the upper story. Such actions,such moments,such unconscious selfless decisions,define what it is to be human

Private prisons worried about profit margins in the wake of decriminalisation/legalisation.

Never fear, all sorts of old and boring things will soon become criminal acts to help shore up the numbers.

I'm guessing alcohol related offences to get a big sentencing boost soon. Or possibly 2 ton of shit for the "legal high" market. There's no real reason to protect that any more anyway so there's a whole fresh set of kids ready for the jail.

The direction things are going in, I'd say we'll see the end of private prison contracts in most states within the decade.

Over 2 million so far in tax revenue. All your states are drooling after mine like she's some cheap tramp.

I sure hope so.  A chance of leading toward a balanced budget will mean it gets conservative support

balanced budget, small government, economic opportunity, sounds pretty attractive to conservatives to me.

No, they're attractive conservative propaganda.

Or did you think it was just coincidence that the budget gets terribly unbalanced, government expands and jobs decline when Republicans get into power?

I meant conservative voters, not conservative politicians.
