News from the Lone Star State:
When I recently reported on this fact, of course one of our right wing commentators was quick to deny the whole thing. Well, sorry, guy, it's true.
Of course, unlike California, the legislators of the Republican State of Texas have a simple way to deal with this problem. They are going to simply refuse to fund the things that they as a State are responsible for. Screw everyone else- see how easy it is to balance the budget?

The gap is now proportionately larger than the deficit California recently closed with cuts and fee increases"
