Hey Dave, how about us NOT tying our budget each year, that affects future budgets,  on the price of oil?   
Enough of us are tired of that 'crapshoot" as Meyer like to put it.  I support the Governor`s plan barring any other plan, NOT yet put forward by the conflicted conoco caucus. From what I understand his plan lowers our dependence on oil revenue over time from 80% now, to 20% very shortly. That makes more fiscal sense that subsidizing a declining asset value with our valuable savings.  That 80/20 shift in dependence on oil prices should be key to a common sense approach to realistic and affective budget tools.
