The soap opera: As the budget turns, running out of time and money

As we return to our unhappy family of lawmakers, we hear budget director Andrew Clinger say: “We gotta cut another $800 million, I tell ya! We’re runnin’ outta money!” State agency chiefs say: “But Andy, we can’t cut anymore unless you wanna shut the doors? How ya gonna shut the doors, Andy?” We also see democratic leaders in the Assembly very upset, some utterly disgusted saying, “Boys, boys…you obviously are missing the big picture! Ya gotta think outside the box and go where the money is…”
Tune in next week when we hear Governor Gibbons say, “It sure looks complicated to me…Andy, ya sure you got fresh batteries in your calculator?”
