Lemme translate...

Gosh, I worked real hard to spend every last dollar you gave us as taxpayers...as a matter of fact, I worked so hard, I'm going to need more tax dollars next year, than you gave me this year...much more. Yes, yes, I understand Oregon tax revenue is up 40 percent compared to what it was ten years ago...but, I just wanted you to know, it's hard coming up with new ways to spend your money...real hard. In fact, it's so hard, I'm going to have to write the newspaper and let everyone know just how hard it is...
