So many of the poster solutions rely on: tax the other guy, cut the program I never use, everyone is overpaid but me.  Those who are so positive they can live without so many State services need to simply live for the next year without relying on anything provided by the State.  Don't drive on state roads, drive your kids to school (no school buses,)  do not use anything that receives state funding.  When you get your property tax bill look at the amount that shown as state revenues you are receiving towards the municipality operation as  that local funding is also part of the budget problem.
