1. I don't envy Gov. Nixon

Facing an $800 million shortfall without the ability to borrow and a Republican legislature, it would take a herculean effort not to cut something from necessary services.

2. Yeah. He is in a bind.

I would seem to think the last thing anyone should do to get out of a financial crisis, though, is to cut education. He would appear to be in agreement. I hope he wins that fight.
