    Okay, but in defense of Ron, he's been trying to get traction on more stable sources of funding for years. He's the only gubernatorial candidate in recent memory who ran on instituting a state income tax, which would have significantly affected this $8+ billion dollar deficit we're facing from lost sales tax revenues.
