Gov. Mary Fallin faces the reality that she is defeated in her attempt to raise nearly $2 billion in new taxes, this year. She tried in February. She tried in September. Each time she opened the legislative session, she threatened, she cajoled, she pontificated. But each time she failed. Now she sits alone as the legislature goes home and sends her a bill which cuts more spending than raise new taxes. If she vetoes this bill, she will face an upheaval that could turn ugly. The photo was posted on twitter by a capitol observer. You can see Reps. Bennett, Munson, Blancett, Stone, Nichols, & Virgin; in the back row. We can only wonder what Rep. Munson is doing? |
