The 2010 session of the State Legislature is faced with a massive job…with little time to accomplish it. This year is a “budget” session, limited to thirty days. Ordinarily that’s ample time to rework a budget, starting with a previous year’s revenues and expenditures and then projecting growth or slowdown. Not this year.
