This is an election year! Those up for another term may be talking about ways to increase revenues, but in reality terms they are only thinking of getting re- elected. And they know that voting to cut the PFD, impose a State income tax, or sales tax is a sure way to lose the election. Walker can threaten to call a special session but my bet is that nothing will get these lawmakers to do something that will cause them to lose their respective elections. They will just use the savings account this year to make up the deficit. And you will hear some speculate that increases in crude prices will start to happen and will help with the problem. They will say and do many things  to keep from having to face the issue this year! But next year, watch out! Get ready for a tax and a reduction to your PFD.
