I note that your reprinted editorial from the Rochester newspaper only calls for pressure on legislators but no pressure on the governor. Not hard to tell the editorial staff is in favor of higher taxes. Inflation is expected to be over 2 percent. Higher spending means that 2 percent will be on a higher amount! Your solution to the problem for the next budget will be the same as this year. Raise taxes again. The tax and spend cycle will never end.
