We do not have a financial crisis. We are the most wealthy state in the US. We have an allocation problem. The PFD is the problem. Adam, you and your colleagues need to muster the courage to do the right thing - end the PFD. Half of you won't be reelected because of it. But that's what leadership is all about. Doing the right thing even when the personal consequences are high. Being a legislator is a temporary job anyways. Become a leader.
