I want to "like" you too Ms Fread, you seem like a swell woman, and involved with your state, so thank you. 
I am not sure how you reached the number 2.7 billion, and I am not in disagreement with you, but even after the 2.7 billion is cut there will still need to be some form of revenue (that's the point I was trying to make). 
I am open to all forms of revenue, except opening up the PF for the government. I am vehemently against that because after they drain the account on special interest projects we will be back to square one, paying taxes (except this time without a PFD check and even larger govt).
