I bet they didn`t "shut down" their perdium though did they!, while they allow, and watch, the state`s hard-won savings get raided by this oily state senate, along with half the value of the dividend program not just this year but as long as they pay out.
The Senate`s so-called budget fix SB26 was a refusal to admit the severity of the deficit as well as the affects of drastic-looking cuts to the services expected by the good citizens of this state.  
The conoco caucus, still driving the bus in the senate, biggest concern was getting the rest of the cash credits to their patrons "as somehow a legal obligation"   From the beginning of the session, it wasn`t fixing the land mines in SB21 itself, which they denied existed until recently, that they spent time on.  The House did that.  Now Kelly and the Senate are operating on shame that their fraud has been found out.  Heck this Senate "shut down" from the first gavel-in, as far as advancing ANY real pragmatic budget plan or oil tax fix.
