STATE MOTTO SHOULD BE “SIN AS A BUSINESS” OR “WE TRADE IN SINFUL COMMODITIES”
Nevada’s unemployment drops from 13.6% from 2011 to 12% in March, and 11.7% in April, but this is due to even more people leaving the workforce, so while the figures are positive this is offset by that many people exiting the workforce. National unemployment is 8.1%, meaning the stimulus did not even get or keep unemployment levels at 7% or lower and most have run out of their ability to re-apply for 2nd or 3rd tier federal unemployment extensions...

Brian Sandoval, Nevada’s newly inaugurated Republican governor, has proposed a budget of $5.8 billion for the next two years, which would reduce the budget to the 2007-2008 level, while the Democrats have countered with a proposal of close to $7 billion, but which is not entirely funded. Under either proposal, major cuts would take place.

for 2011 and 2012 http://www.politifact.com/new-jersey/statements/2012/jan/17/chris-christie/chris-christie-touts-accomplishments-video-preview/
Just over a year ago Governor Christie entered office and was faced with an unprecedented budget gap.
In January of 2010, New Jersey was staring down a $2.2 billion deficit for fiscal year 2010 that required difficult and tough solutions. Furthermore, Governor Christie still had to address an immediate $10.7 billion gap in fiscal year 2011. It was not easy, but the Governor laid out a plan to do what was necessary to stabilize the state’s finances.
In many ways, the leftover mess of fiscal year 2010 was an indicator of everything wrong with New Jersey’s budget process. The previous budget gaps, totaling a combined $13 billion, were the culmination of years of shortsighted policies and poor budgeting practices that ignored economic realities, failed to plan for eroding recurring revenue sources, and consistently relied on one-time revenues sources. Despite diminishing revenue, State spending increased by nearly 30% over the previous eight years. Consistent spending beyond the State’s means was emblematic of the Trenton philosophy – just continue to automatically fund programs at previous levels without giving any thought to the effectiveness of the program or the overall fiscal health of the state.
The hard choices that required shared sacrifice in the fiscal year 2011 Budget set the foundation for future budget planning. By closing a nearly $11 billion budget gap of legislated spending without raising taxes, Governor Christie hit the reset button on how budgeting works in Trenton.

New Jersey’s Economic Outlook for Fiscal Year 2012
The Difficult Path to New Jersey’s Recovery
New Jersey was especially hard hit by the national recession, but it is beginning to show signs of recovery. Between December 2006 and December 2010, New Jersey lost 225,800 private sector jobs, or 6.6% of the workforce. Unemployment reached its highest level in 33 years, while the housing market collapsed and State revenue declined precipitously. The magnitude of the gap in government finances created by this crisis was great. Through difficult decisions and a new focus on discipline and fiscal responsibility, New Jersey has begun to see signs of progress and recovery, and citizens are showing a renewed optimism about the direction of the State.The State’s economy is crawling back from the severe recession of 2007 to 2009. The recovery is likely to continue unabated, but at a painfully slower pace than experienced during past economic expansions.
But job growth, while beginning to improve, has been less robust. Private employment has stabilized, which was a marked improvement from 2008-2009. New Jersey lost 108,500 private sector jobs in 2008 and 121,200 in 2009. In contrast, from January 2010-December 2010, New Jersey stemmed the loss of jobs and gained a total of 8,200 private sector jobs.
Employment did grow in a number of sectors, most notably at temporary help firms. (Growth in temporary hiring is usually regarded as a leading indicator of more permanent job gains.) Additionally, finance and health care industry employment also inched higher.
Some parts of the State have fared better than others during the slow recovery. Most notably, Passaic
County saw a robust, nearly 2% increase in the number of jobs between the middle of 2009 and the middle of 2010. Among other counties with employment over 75,000, Atlantic, Mercer, Ocean, Somerset, and Union also saw job growth during that time period.
Private sector wages are finally starting to rise. State gross income and corporate business tax collections are beating the estimates in last year’s Budget, an indicator that both paychecks and profits are growing.
Looking ahead to growth sectors in the State’s economy, New Jersey should be in a fortunate position. Our state retains large concentrations of employers in the life sciences, telecommunications, and finance --sectors likely to grow at a faster clip as the national economy expands. These sectors employ highly-skilled, well-educated, and generally highly-paid workers who pump significant revenue into local economies. New Jersey is one of the national leaders in the share of population with a post-graduate education.

FY2013 State Budget http://sunshinereview.org/index.php/South_Carolina_state_budget
The state Board of Economic Advisors added nearly $1 billion to the FY2013 state budget. Gov. Nikki Haley has said she believes any new money in the state budget either should go toward the state pension deficit or be returned to taxpayers as a tax rebate, but some legislators have said they believe the money should be used to restore cuts previously made to state agencies' funding.[8]The $6.7 billion FY2013 state budget passed by the legislature includes $1.3 billion in one time funds.[9]
The budget highlights include
- the first pay increase in four years for state workers: a 3 percent pay increase for most state employees, and a 5 percent increase for state law enforcement officers earning less than $50,000 per year. The budget provides $48 million to school districts to increase teachers' pay by 2 percent. The budget as passed also covers state employees' rising health insurance premiums.[9]
- $153 million more for public schools;[9]
- $300 million to dredge the Charleston harbor to a 50-foot depth to accommodate mega-size ships expected to call after the Panama Canal is widened in 2014.[9]
With the House and Senate $6.6 billion budgets not reconciled, the legislature adjourned on June 7, 2012. Lawmakers took up the budget again when they reconvene on June 19, 2012, for a special session.[10]
The legislature approved a $6.7 billion final budget on June 28, 2012.[9] The House passed the spending plan with a vote of 89-10 in favor and the Senate voted 26-8.[9] The final budget includes a tax cut for small business owners.[9]
The Senate approved a $6.6 billion FY2013 proposed budget on May 16, 2012. The budget adds additional judges, which lawmakers said was necessary because South Carolina's general court judges have the highest caseload nationwide. The budget bill was sent back to the House [11] but no action was taken before the session concluded.
Both chambers' budget proposals cut the income tax rate that small business owners pay on their profits, with the Senate plan phasing in the approach over multiple years, while the House plan immediately reduces the rate from 5 percent to 3 percent, meaning $65 million less in revenue in 2012-13.[10]
The House unanimously approved its FY2013 spending plan in March 2012.[12] Highlights of the House budget include:[12]
- a 2 percent raise for state employees and teachers;[12]
- additional education funding, increasing the base student cost from $1,880 to $2,012;[12]
- $180 million to deepen the Charleston port;[12]
- $77 million to pay down the state's debt to the federal government for what it borrowed for unemployment benefits[12]
- 5 percent into the state's rainy day fund, more than the constitutionally requires 4%, which is an additional $58 million.[12]
Pensions

Over 90% of D.C. residents have health insurance coverage; the second-highest rate in the nation.

Our state is certainly not alone in that dubious category; 43 other states are facing a budget deficit, with California being an estimated $25.5 billion in the red. That makes our state deficit of about $70 million, seem rather small.
Ocean Springs State Representative Hank Zuber told us, "In Mississippi, we have not had it get out of hand in terms of how much money we have taken in, versus how much we have spent."
Zuber said that's because of good fiscal management.
"Sure, absolutely, in fact in his state of the state speech, Governor Barbour said this downturn will last for another year or two and so we acted accordingly."
But, the reality is that some cuts are coming. It's just a matter of where and how much.
"We have had a lot of services and a lot of things, needs that our local community and citizens want, that we have not been able to provide," Representative Scott DeLano of Biloxi said.
The good news is, the economic situation, at least in our state, seems to be getting better, and that's great news for everybody," DeLano added
The state has met its revenue estimates the last couple of months, which clearly indicates revenue is up.
Both DeLano and Zuber are bullish on our state's economy, saying eventually it will flourish.

#40 MICHIGAN
MICHIGAN IS 40TH WORST
STRATEGY:
1) ANALYZE MICHIGAN’S ECONOMIC CAPABILITY/ECONOMIC PROFILE: (this includes natural resources, state government budget, and crime rate)
GOVT. BUDGET DEFICIT $1.5 BILLION
The platform for doing
so is the fiscal year 2013 budget, which I am proud to recommend for consideration.
This proposal differs significantly from our current-year budget. Last year, our fiscal house
was still in disarray. Michigan was burdened with a $1.5 billion deficit and little effort had
been made to pay down its long-term obligations. We were faced with difficult – but
necessary – decisions that centered on budget cuts and major policy reforms. Working in
partnership with the Legislature, we enacted a fiscally and structurally sound budget that
laid the foundation for economic growth and prosperity while protecting our state’s critical
safety net.
DECADE OF UNEMPLOYMENT FROM GANG PRESENCE
2) COORDINATE WITH STATE LEADERSHIP: (employment agencies, state government budget balancing, crime reduction/community prevention)
HOW TO BALANCE THE BUDGET:
DEFINITE NEED OF JUDICIAL REFORM - GANG TASK OFFICERS, 7-10 YRS. EXPERIENCE
EDUCATION REFORM - TEACHERS SPECIALIZING IN ENGLISH, CULTURE, AND ARTS
SPIRITUAL/COMMUNITY COUNSELORS - BROKENNESS AND SPIRITUAL VACUUM PRESENT IN MICHIGAN

$3.5 BILLION BUDGET DEFICIT AND OVER-RELIANCE ON FEDERAL FUNDS:
Next Budget Cycle FY2012-13
- See past state budgets
To address the gap created by state revenue estimates that are $300 million less than anticipated, legislative leaders from both parties reached a compromise budget rebalancing plan that avoids closing a prison in Salem and making $13 million in cuts to providers of in-home care to seniors and the disabled. The plan does not tap reserves or raise taxes. It also eliminates middle management positions. The governor opposes the middle management cuts, but his spokesman said that he would sign the budget once it receives full legislative approval.[2] As part of the plan, some of the state's settlement with mortgage lenders over foreclosure practices will be retained to offset future revenue shortfalls or unanticipated spending.[2]
The compromise was reached after lawmakers announced on Feb. 1, 2012, a budget rebalancing plan that avoid cuts to K-12 education and programs for seniors and the disabled, while creating a cushion in case the state suffers continued declines in revenues.[8] After the co-chairs of the Ways and Means Committee developed a budget, and on Feb. 16, 2012, Gov. John Kitzhaber recommended amendments to that budget, including using reserves to avert the closure of Santiam Correctional Institution in Salem, block a further shift of inmates to other temporary beds, and ease or cancel some smaller cuts in education and human services.[9] The Governor's full memo detailing his suggested amendments can be found here.
On December 13, 2011, Gov. Kitzhaber responded to lower than anticipated revenues by enacted a hiring freeze and capped enrollment in some safety-net programs, including Oregon Health Plan's "Standard" program which services those who do not qualify for Medicaid. Legislative leaders requested the action and will take up budget issues when they reconvene in February 2012.[10]
Budget as originally passed
Oregon faced a $3.5 billion gap between projected revenue and the estimated cost of sustaining operations for two more years. The legislature bridged the gap and crafted a $14.7 billion two-year budget that left schools, social safety net programs and just about every other government service far short of their desired levels. The budget does not raise taxes. The budget leaves more than $460 million of projected revenue unspent.[11][12] The $460 million ending balance meant that cuts were not necessary when revenues in Aug. 2011 dropped $200 million.[11]
Gov. John Kitzhaber's settlement with state labor unions amounted to $42 million more than he had planned on paying in salary increases. The governor initially said that he would accept only a 6 percent increase in total compensation, amounting to $184 million from the general fund, and the legislature based the budget on that, but the Governor negotiated an overall increase is 7.4, percent, or $224 million, according the legislative fiscal officer. [13] Kitzhaber did negotiate with unions that, for the first time, workers will pay 5 percent of their health premium costs.[13]
State officials said in Sept. 2011 that they could not quantify how much money gets paid out for contracts, but conservative estimates place the figure at $100 million.[14]
Gov. Kitzhaber sought a shift from managed-care systems to coordinated-care organizations in order to save $240 million. To do so, the House approved House Bill 3650 by a vote of 59-1.[15]
Federal funds make up 24.9% of the $54 billion state budget. The total funds budget for 2011-13 is lower than the 2009-11 legislatively approved budget largely due to the 18.6% decline in Federal Funds, the combined General Fund and Lottery Funds budgeted expenditures are actually $1 billion more in 2011-13 than in 2009-11, an increase of 7.5%. [16]

#37 WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON RANKED 37TH WORTH FOR UNEMPLOYMENT
WASHINGTON HAS DOUBLE THE GDP OF GEORGIA, BECAUSE IT REQUIRES NO STATE INCOME TAX, CORPORATE TAX, OR FRANCHISE TAX, MAKING IT A HUB FOR BUSINESS AND JOBS.... SO WHY IS UNEMPLOYMENT SO BAD???
IN OTHER WORDS, THE STATE IS IN DEBT UP TO THEIR EYEBALLS, $83 BILLION FOR NOT REQUIRING TAX COLLECTIONS LIKE GA, AND THIS ACTUALLY HINDERS JOB CREATION BECAUSE THE STATE DEFICIT IS SO HIGH!
STRATEGY:
1) ANALYZE WASHINGTON’S ECONOMIC CAPABILITY/ECONOMIC PROFILE: (this includes natural resources, state government budget, and crime rate)
THEY EXHIBIT THE NEED FOR PENSION, WELFARE, AND EDUCATION REFORM.
THEY ALSO NEED JUDICIAL REFORM, THE CRIME RATE EXHIBITS VIOLENT AND PROPERTY CRIME HIGH, THERE IS ALSO EVIDENCE OF A GANG OPERATION A THEFT/BURGLARY/CHOP SHOP RING. GREAT PLACE TO WORK, HORRIBLE PLACE TO LIVE:
2) COORDINATE WITH STATE LEADERSHIP: (employment agencies, state government budget balancing, crime reduction/community prevention)
JOB INDEX IS HEAVILY RELIANT ON STATE AND FEDERAL JOBS, NOT PRIVATE SECTOR JOB LISTINGS OR PORTALS ON THIS SITE http://access.wa.gov/employment/getajob.aspx
WASHINGTON NEEDS TO REQUIRE A STATE INCOME TAX TO ADEQUATELY FUND POLICE SERVICES. THEY ALSO NEED TO MAKE CORPORATIONS DO THE SAME, THEIR EMPLOYEES LIVE TERRIBLE HELL ZONES, LOOKING AT THE CRIME RATE AND TRENDS. I WOULD LEAVE FRANCHISES TAX FREE, AS WASHINGTON PRESENTS A RELIANCE ON PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYMENT RATHER THAN PRIVATE BUSINESS CREATION.

COMMUNITY WATCH AND REPORTING TO FEDERAL AGENCIES WILL HELP.
3) CREATE LOCAL JOBS AND ATTRACT INVESTORS: (DETERMINE IMMEDIATE JOB GROWTH AREAS AND ABILITY TO REPAY FEDERAL LOANS) TOURISM, CULTURE, MUSIC, AND SPORTS

GOVERNOR BREWER BALANCED THE BUDGET, HAS $1 MILLION SURPLUS
Brewer signs 2012 budget, touts Medicaid reforms
66 comments by Mary Jo Pitzl - Apr. 8, 2011 12:00 AMThe Arizona Republic
Arizona's $8.3 billion budget for the next fiscal year is now law.
Gov. Jan Brewer on Thursday announced that she had signed the budget package late Wednesday, calling the plan "a milestone on the road to recovery." Brewer statement | Summary of enactments
In late 2008, Arizona's budget tumbled into red ink along with the overall economy, and throughout her tenure, the Republican governor has been battling budget deficits.
The fiscal year that begins July 1 is projected to end with a modest $5 million surplus. Brewer and GOP legislative leaders believe they'll be able to keep the budget in balance throughout the coming year, instead of seeing it slip almost immediately into deficit, because they have balanced it structurally. That means they have matched state spending to the revenue the state is expected to generate in the next year.
To do that, they cut programs by $1.1 billion and reduced some of the gimmicks used to balance past budgets. However, the plan also relies on shifting costs to local governments and continuing to defer $1.3 billion in payments to various state programs.
There are no tax increases and no new borrowing, although debt remains from previous years of borrowing.
Brewer said the budget represents a state government that is "cost-effective, efficient and fiscally stable."
Critics, though, have likened it to a "tea party" budget, with its reliance on spending cuts, especially to human- and social-service programs. The reductions equal the amount cut over the previous two years.
Many of those cuts make permanent changes to state law, meaning the programs they support will not return when state coffers are again flush with cash.
Andrei Cherny, chairman of the Arizona Democratic Party, labeled the budget a product of "the Russell Pearce Republicans." Pearce, R-Mesa, has called the state Senate, over which he presides, the "tea-party Senate."
The budget's main appropriations bill takes effect immediately; the 12 policy-related bills in the package will become law 90 days after the Legislature adjourns its session. Adjournment is expected later this month.
Nearly half of the budget reductions come from the state's health-care program for low-income Arizonans.
"This budget recognizes the need to comprehensively reform our state Medicaid program," Brewer wrote in a signing statement sent to Pearce and House Speaker Kirk Adams, R-Mesa.
She proposes to freeze enrollment in the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System, require co-pays from patients, and cut reimbursement rates for doctors, hospitals and other health-care providers. The budget cuts $500 million from AHCCCS, although many of the savings are contingent on federal approval of a reform package Brewer submitted to Washington, D.C., last week.
Her signing letter made no reference to the transplant program, which was cut in October. Brewer spokesman Matthew Benson said Thursday that, with the budget now signed into law, that coverage is reinstated. That should put 96 people who need bone-marrow and lung transplants, among others, back under state coverage for now.
Democrats have questioned whether the budget truly restores funding.
Brewer said the budget, rife with "difficult choices," struck a balance between the need to make state spending line up with state revenue and Arizona's obligation to education, public safety and vulnerable citizens.
She said she did her best to protect K-12 education, the main beneficiary of the temporary 1-cent-per-dollar sales-tax hike she promoted last year.
"The adopted state budget keeps that promise, limiting K-12 cuts to roughly 2 percent of total education funding from all sources," she wrote.
Legislative analysts said the cuts equal 3.6 percent of state general-fund spending on education, the only pot of money over which lawmakers have control.
Brewer said she protected base funding for Arizona's public-school system from deeper cuts that lawmakers wanted by aiming reductions at specific programs, such as eliminating vocational-education programs for high-school freshmen.
Critics have charged the governor with reneging on her promise to protect education, even though they acknowledge Brewer's proposals were less harmful than those of legislative Republicans.
The Arizona Education Network, a Tucson-based group of education advocates, said Brewer and the Legislature "have violated the public's trust with these deep cuts."
In addition to about $150 million in cuts to K-12, the budget reduces university funding by $198 million and takes $70 million from the community-college system.
Cherny, of the Democratic Party, said that the budget decimates Arizona education and that Democrats will remind voters of that in next year's elections.
The budget also cuts $50 million from the Department of Economic Security, which provides the state's safety-net programs, and $53 million from the Department of Health Services.
The budget reduces funds that have kept the state's parks system on life support; advocates say the cuts mean some parks will have to close.
Brewer and lawmakers turned their focus to provisions of the budget they say will make fundamental changes in how government operates, mostly by erasing a structural deficit. That kind of fiscal stability, they said, will boost business and investor confidence in Arizona and help speed economic recovery.

MEDICAID REFORM REDUCED BUDGET DEFICIT $25 BILLION
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed the state's $8.6 billion FY2013 budget into law on May 7, 2012. [1] When accounting for both the general fund and non-general fund monies, the state’s “all funds” budget is $27.8 billion.[2]
Arizona operates on an annual budget cycle. Its fiscal year begins July 1, and it is in FY2013.
Arizona has a total state debt of approximately $59,220,240,000, when calculated by adding the total of outstanding official debt, pension and other post-employment benefits (OPEB) liabilities, Unemployment Trust Fund loans, and 2011 budget gap. [3]

Governor's Proposed Budget
Gov. Jan Brewer announced in Dec. 2011 that the state was not facing a deficit in FY2013, the first time the state was not facing a deficit for the coming fiscal year. Instead, budget director John Arnold anticipates a "temporary surplus" of between $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion for FY2013. As a result, Brewer said that the state would not be asking the largest counties to make a mandatory donation to the state's general fund as it has done for several years.[15]
The governor's proposed budget can be found here. The governor's $8.96 billion budget proposal would give state workers their first pay raise in five years if they opt out of the state's personnel system, and tends to Arizona's ailing technological infrastructure. It also saves $600 million for emergencies.[16]
[edit]FY2012 State Budget
- See past state budgets
The state’s FY 2012 General Fund budget is $8.32 billion. After accounting for non-General Fund monies, the state’s “all funds” budget is $26.9 billion.[19] The state's $8.3 billion FY2012 general fund budget relied primarily on cuts to eliminate a projected $1.1 billion shortfall.[20] Gov. Brewer signed it into law on April 6, 2011.[21] Using those cuts, the budget eliminates a projected $1.1 billion shortfall.[20] The budget is 20% smaller than it was four years ago.[22]
The 416 page Appropriations Report for FY2012 prepared by the Joint Legislative Budget Committee can be found here.
Spending cuts include:[20][23]
- $198 million from universities, approximately a 40% reduction in state support to the schools from the past thee years
- $183.2 million from K-12 schools

- $50.4 million from the state's social-service agency
- $1.1 billion in new reductions, including $524 million from Medicaid waiver plan savings;
- $172 million in new fund transfers (in addition to $85 million in the Baseline for a total of $256 million);
- $53 million in other revenue, including $22 million for a one-time Tax Amnesty Program;
- $66 million cash payments or redirected local revenue (in addition to $35 million in the Baseline for a total of $101 million);
- $70 million in additional base revenue above the Baseline estimate, including the Legislature's adoption of revenue growth rates of 5.6% in FY 2011 and 5.7% in FY 2012.
[edit]Medicaid Waiver
The budget's heath care bill stated that the Legislature supported restoration of transplant coverage and authorized Brewer to make changes to the Medicaid program to fit services and eligibility standards to available funding.The biggest cut reduces state funding for the Medicaid program by $510 million. Freezes proposed by Brewer would reduce Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System's enrollment by approximately 138,000 people in the next year. The reductions would come in enrollment categories that are above federally required minimums. The program now serves approximately 1.3 million low-income people, or 20% of Arizonans.[20] The state plans to limit adult Medicaid recipients to 25 days of hospital coverage a year effective at the end of October 2011.[24]
The cuts would save $207 million in FY2012.[25]
Opponents challenged whether Gov. Brewer had legal authority to limit enrollment in Medicaid. A state court ruled on Aug. 11, 2011, that she can legally reduce enrollment in Arizona's Medicaid program to help balance the state budget..[25]

CRIME IS HIGH WHEN IT COMES TO BURGLARY. APPARENTLY THERE IS A BURGLARY RING DISCOURAGING BUSINESS GROWTH AND LONG-TERM REALTY.By DONALD GILLILAND, The Patriot-News
on October 15, 2012 at 5:10 PM, updated October 15, 2012 at 5:27 PM
The Senate on Monday unanimously passed the second phase of prison reform for Pennsylvania, outlining the formula by which savings will be returned to local governments for improved policing and probation services.
An earlier reform signed into law in July, seeks to divert nonviolent, addicted offenders from state prison by better treating their addiction issues at the local level.View full sizeNew inmates wait inside "R" block where they live until they have been processed at the State Correctional Institution at Camp Hill Thursday, Jan. 6, 2011. JOHN C. WHITEHEAD/The Patriot-News
The overall estimated savings of the reform recommendations from the Governor's Justice Reinvestment Working Group was projected to top $250 million over five years. Most of that would be reinvested back into local communities for improved law enforcement and evidence-based treatment.
Not all of the recommendations made it into the final law, and the estimated savings was revised downward to $142 million.
The measure passed by the Senate Monday defines the mechanism for returning a portion of that money to local jurisdictions.
The Office of the Budget will develop a formula to determine how much the Department of Corrections saved in the previous year from the reforms, a portion of those savings will then be put into a special fund to be distributed to state agencies and local governments. At first, 75% of the savings will go into the fund; the following year, the savings put into the fund is limited to $21 million, after that 25 percent of savings will go into the fund.
First to benefit will be the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, which will receive $1 million to develop a statewide victim notification system and other victim services.
Another $400,000 will go to the Pennsylvania Sentencing Commission to establish risk assessment models for judges to use at sentencing.
Of the money remaining in the fund each year, 43 percent will go for local grants for innovative policing, 26 percent will go for local grants to improve county probation, 21 percent will go to the Department of Corrections to implement contracts with counties for diversion of low-level offenders, 6 percent will go to the Board of Probation and Parole for costs related to streamlining the parole process and 4 percent will go to DOC and Parole to support coordinated implementation and outreach for improved reentry programs.
Beginning in 2015, the 25 percent of savings put into the fund will be distributed by the legislature.
The measure must now go to the House of Representatives for concurrence.

Taxation
Pennsylvania has the 10th highest tax burden in the United States.[89] Residents pay a total of $83.7 billion in state and local taxes with a per capita average of $6,640 annually. Residents share 76% of the total tax burden. Many state politicians have tried to increase the share of taxes paid by out of state sources. Suggested revenue sources include taxing natural gas drilling as Pennsylvania is the only state without such a taxation on gas drilling.[90] Additional revenue prospects include trying to place tolls on interstate highways; specifically Interstate 80 which is used heavily by out of state commuters with high maintenance costs.[91]Sales tax provides 39% of Commonwealth's revenue; personal income tax 34%; motor vehicle taxes about 12%, and taxes oncigarettes and alcohol beverage 5%.[92] Personal income tax is a flat 3.07%. An individual's taxable income is based on the following eight types of income: compensation (salary); interest; dividends; net profits from the operation of a business, profession or farm; net gains or income from the dispositions of property; net gains or income from rents, royalties, patents and copyrights; income derived through estates or trusts; and gambling and lottery winnings (other than Pennsylvania Lottery winnings).[93]
Counties, municipalities, and school districts levy taxes on real estate. In addition, some local bodies assess a wage tax on personal income. Generally, the total wage tax rate is capped at 1% of income but some municipalities with home rule charters may charge more than 1%. Thirty-two of the Commonwealth's sixty-seven counties levy a personal property tax on stocks, bonds, and similar holdings.

Joel Page | AP
Maine's Public Safety Commissioner John E. Morris speaks with Sen. Bill Diamond, D-Windham, in February 2011 at the state house in Augusta.
AUGUSTA, Maine — Mainers addicted to drugs — diverted prescription drugs in particular — are breaking the law to feed their addiction and have caused a troubling increase in the state’s crime rate, Public Safety Commissioner John E. Morris said Tuesday.“Drugs are driving the problem,” the commissioner said in a telephone interview. “Reports to me from law enforcement throughout the state confirm this. Prescription drugs are truly the driving factor.”
The overall crime rate in Maine increased by 5.4 percent between 2010 and 2011, “the largest jump since 1975,” Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland said in a press release.
Bangor, Portland and 132 other municipal, county and state law enforcement agencies in Maine — along with others around the country — provide data each year for the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program.
The statewide data, which include murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, motor vehicle thefts and arson, are compiled by the Maine Department of Public Safety’s uniform crime reporting division.
The figures released Tuesday “show that 36,248 crime index offenses were reported to police in 2011 compared to 34,407 during 2010,” McCausland said.
Crime increased in every category during 2011 except for robberies, which decreased slightly, from 416 in 2010 to 406 in 2011. At the same time, however, the number of pharmacy robberies has jumped twofold, Morris said.
“In 2008, there were two pharmacy robberies in the entire state,” he said. “In 2009, there were four and last year there were 24 — a huge jump. This year, up to today, there have been 23.
“If pharmacy robberies continue at the rate they are, 14 percent of the pharmacies in Maine will be subject to a robbery,” Morris added.
For the third year in a row, the number of burglaries in Maine also increased. A total of 8,079 burglaries were reported in 2011, a 10 percent increase over 2010, when there were 7,343. That was 9.4 percent higher than in 2009, when there were 6,711 burglaries, according to the UCR data posted on the Department of Public Safety’s website.
“I contend that prescription drug addicts, who are unfortunately sick with this addiction, are also the primary cause of the increase of burglaries throughout the state,” Morris said. “These aren’t traditional burglaries.
These are people sick with addiction breaking into houses to get prescription drugs. Unfortunately, their targets are those infirm or the elderly who they think are on prescription drugs.
“If you couple that [burglary figure] with bank robberies and convenience store robberies, which we know are connected to people trying to get money for oxys, it just compounds the problem,” he said.
Oxycodone is the drug of choice with drug-using Mainers nowadays, replacing OxyContin, a time-released version of oxycodone, which was popular with addicts a few years back, Mike Wardrop, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration resident agent for Maine, has said. Prescription drug addiction is a national problem, the DEA agent said.
“Pills were always an abused form of drug, but when doctors started to prescribe OxyContin, it took over. We were done,” Portland police Lt. Gary Rogers has said.
Purdue Pharma began making OxyContin in the United States in 1996 and touted the time-release pain medication as a miracle drug that required only two pills a day for pain management, Wardrop said.
“We were the first state where Pharma marketed OxyContin and we never recovered,” the DEA agent said.
Other crimes in Maine that increased in 2011 include:
• Larceny-thefts, up 3.5 percent.
• Aggravated assaults, up 16.3 percent.
• Simple assaults, up 15.3 percent.
• Arson, up 6.1 percent.
• Motor vehicle thefts, up 5.5 percent.
• Domestic violence assaults, up 4.6 percent
• Rapes, up 6.4 percent.
Homicides also increased — from 24 in 2010 to 28 in 2011.
“Crime in the rural areas increased by 3.5 percent in 2011, while crime in the cities and towns increased by 6 percent,” McCausland said.
The data released Tuesday did not break down the figures by community, but two Bangor Daily News stories from April about crime in Portland and Bangor show that felony crimes have been increasing in those two cities over the past decade.
Crime data from 2010 and 2011 for Portland were not available Tuesday, but robberies and murders in Maine’s largest city steadily increased between 2000 and 2010, according to statistics reported by the Illinois-based Advameg Inc. and its website city-data.com.
Advameg’s website tracked only 56 robberies at the beginning of the decade and 129 at the end, although 2010′s figure is down from a 2006 crest of 149 such crimes. There were no homicides in Portland in 2000, between one and three each year between 2001 and 2007, and four each in 2008 and 2009. In 2010, there were six.
Portland robbery and murder figures can likely be traced back to increased drug use, Rogers said.
“It seems 15 years ago we were seeing bank robberies, but now we’re seeing pharmacy robberies,” he has said.
Theft, burglary and rape figures over the decade zigzagged in Portland, with no apparent trends. Thefts, for instance, numbered 2,120 in 2000; 2,547 in 2002; 2,332 in 2004; 2,709 in 2006; 2,157 in 2008 and 2,246 in 2010.
Portland saw fewer cases of assault and arson in 2010 — 74 and seven, respectively — than at any point in the previous decade, the Advameg data shows.
The high numbers for those crimes came in 2005, when the city experienced 125 cases of assault, and in 2008, a year when it saw 34 arsons.
Auto thefts declined annually from 2006 until 2010, according to city data, sliding from 193 in 2006 to just 76 in the last year for which numbers are officially available.
Bangor, which was the epicenter of an explosion in the use of the synthetic drug bath salts last year, saw drug-related crimes jump from 154 in 2010 to 237 for 2011, Police Chief Ron Gastia has said.
“With [bath salts use] increasing, we started to see increases in thefts and property crimes,” the veteran officer said.
Bath salts began to surface on the streets of Bangor in February 2011, and by the following July — when its ingredients were banned in Maine — it had grown into a regional problem in parts of the state.
It has caused users to hallucinate, convulse, have psychotic episodes and thoughts of suicide, Gastia has said.
Bath salts is just one of several drugs that Bangor police typically deal with. Diverted prescription pills, especially oxycodone, are another major problem, as are street drugs such as cocaine, the police chief said.
While the overall number of felony crimes declined in Bangor from 1,781 in 2010 to 1,742 in 2011, the total number of violent crimes went up, Gastia said.
Violent crimes — murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault — increased by 35 percent, with 51 reported in 2010 and 69 in 2011, according to data compiled by Bangor police for the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program.
One of the biggest increases in recent years has been robberies, which differ from thefts because they involve violence or threats of violence. The number of robberies in Bangor between 1991 and 2008 averaged 19 a year and never exceeded 25 in those 18 years. But in 2009 the number jumped dramatically, to 35, and has stayed above 30 for the last three years.
The data also show that since 2009, at least half of the violent crimes in Bangor have been robberies, with 35 of the 69 violent crimes in 2011 falling into that category.
“I believe that there are two primary reasons for the increase,” Gastia said. “First, property crime typically increases in a bad economy. The second reason, in my opinion, is related to drug activity. In some cases, robberies occur as people attempt to steal drugs from those who have them, and in some other cases, money is sought to obtain drugs.”
Theft is, by far, the biggest crime in the Queen City, the police chief said.
“Probably better than half, possibly two-thirds [of calls] have to deal with thefts,” said Gastia, calling it “the primary preventable crime that happens in Bangor.”
In addition to the increased crime figures statewide, drugs users in Maine also are overdosing at an alarming rate on prescription drugs, and the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency now arrests more people with diverted prescription drugs than all other street drugs, Morris said.
“For the third year in a row, drug overdose deaths have exceed traffic fatalities in the state,” the commissioner said. “In 2010, there were 163 drug deaths associated with prescription drugs … and there were 161 traffic fatalities.”
Sixty people died in drug-related deaths in Maine in 2000, but by 2009 that number had increased to 179, according to data collected by Marcella Sorg, a University of Maine forensic anthropologist and lead investigator in two major studies that looked at drug-related mortality patterns in Maine.
“The biggest game in town is prescription drugs,” she has said.
Agents with the MDEA have for years chased dealers of cocaine, heroin and other street drugs, but nowadays most of their investigations involve prescription drugs, Morris said.
“It has changed,” the commissioner said. “Prescription drug abusers have become the leading issue for drug agents. Forty-three percent of the MDEA arrests [last year] were on prescription drug diversions.”
The MDEA seized roughly 10,000 doses of controlled prescription drugs in 2009, more than 44,000 doses in 2010 — nearly half of which came from one pharmacy burglary — and in excess of 18,700 doses last year, MDEA director Roy McKinney has said.
The state’s leaders are not sitting on their hands waiting for a solution, according to Morris. He said there are ongoing meetings among representatives of pharmacies, law enforcement agencies, the MDEA and other concerned groups to come up with solutions to address Maine’s drug problem. Gov. Paul LePage and Attorney General William Schneider created the Maine Prescription Drug Abuse Task Force, which is hosting “drug summits” to discuss ways to curb the state’s addiction, and Morris said he is starting to work with pharmacy operators about updating policies.
“We’re not heading in a very good direction, … but we’re going to come up with some solutions if we all work together,” Morris said.

Louisiana budget deficit hits $220M for current year
POSTED: 09:32 AM Thursday, May 10, 2012BY: The Associated Press
TAGS: Bobby Jindal, budget deficit
BATON ROUGE — Louisiana’s deficit has edged higher to $220 million, because lawmakers and the Jindal administration didn’t provide enough money for elections expenses and the state’s free college tuition program when they crafted this year’s budget.
The governor’s Division of Administration outlined the figure today to lawmakers on the House and Senate budget committee.
The state’s revenue forecasting panel dropped its income estimates by $211 million last month. On top of that, the secretary of state’s office needed $2.5 million more than was budgeted for election costs, which are required to be funded. In addition, the budget hadn’t set aside enough money for the free tuition program called TOPS.
Gov. Bobby Jindal and legislative leaders haven’t devised a plan for coping with the gap for the fiscal year that ends June 30.

STRATEGY:
1) ANALYZE ’S ECONOMIC CAPABILITY/ECONOMIC PROFILE: (this includes natural resources, state government budget, and crime rate)
STATE BUDGET DEFICIT $22.5 BILLION
Alaska's Gov. Sean Parnell signed Alaska's 2013 $12.1 billion in operating and capital spending budgets into law on May 14, 2012.[1] It increases spending from the FY2012 budget, which totaled $11.4 billion, marking a 3.3 percent increase in FY2013.[2]
Alaska operates on an annual budget cycle. Its fiscal year begins on July 1 and it is currently in FY2013.
Alaska has a total state debt of approximately $22,506,229,000, when calculated by adding the total of outstanding official debt, pension and other post-employment benefits (OPEB) liabilities, Unemployment Trust Fund loans, and current budget gap.[3] That is down from the prior year's debt of $27,962,377,000.[4]
Total Alaska state debt per capita is $31141.09 per state resident.[5] The state has the third highest debt figure per capita of the 50 states.[5]

Peter Orszag: Wrong way to reduce budget deficit
By Peter OrszagBloomberg News
Published: May 30, 2012 - 06:57 PM
New York: Bracing for more economic shocks from Europe, the U.S. urgently needs a barbell fiscal policy. That is, more immediate stimulus and more deficit reduction that is designed to take effect over time.
Unfortunately, policymakers are failing on both sides, mostly ignoring the need for additional stimulus while also becoming enthralled with the wrong kind of future deficit reduction.
As I pointed out in a column last week, history shows we are capable of setting deficit reduction for the future and sticking to it — as long as the delayed measures are specific and gradual. But it is also possible to set up future budget cuts that have little chance of actually happening and therefore lack credibility.
A good illustration of how to do future deficit reduction the wrong way is the Sustainable Growth Rate formula for Medicare, which was enacted in 1997 to constrain payments to doctors. The SGR places a broad cap on payments without addressing any of the reasons those payments are increasing. If the cap is exceeded, payments are supposed to be simply cut across the board.
It’s much easier to slap a cap on spending than to get into the weeds of making policy changes to constrain that spending. It generally doesn’t work, though. Not surprisingly, Congress has repeatedly waived the SGR cap by legislating “doc fixes,” temporary patches that cancel the scheduled payment reductions. Although these interventions have not fully restored physician payments to what they would have been, the SGR has had much less effect than if it had been fully implemented.
This same cap-and-punt approach is at the heart of several bills that the House Budget Committee is addressing this week. Two of these, the Spending Control Act and the Balancing Our Obligations for the Long Term Act, would impose a cap on total government spending as a share of gross domestic product, plus a number of other caps on specific areas of spending. These are meant to be enforced through automatic across-the-board spending cuts (with some specific areas exempted).
Like the SGR, the acts under consideration by the House Budget Committee avoid the hard work of making specific policy changes. And the spending reductions they envision are so implausibly large, the automatic cuts will inevitably be waived when the time comes.
The Balancing Our Obligations for the Long Term Act, for its part, would limit federal spending to 20 percent of GDP in 2030, 2040 and 2050. The Congressional Budget Office’s alternative fiscal scenario projects spending in 2040 to amount to 37 percent of GDP. Anyone think we can simply wave our hands and get from 37 percent to 20 percent?
While it’s true that the Republican budget plan put forth earlier this year by Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan would theoretically get us below this 20 percent of GDP threshold by 2040, it would do so only by taking the cap-and-punt approach to a new level. The heart of the Ryan plan is to put caps on key types of federal spending and just hope for the best.
Look, for example, at how Ryan would trim the cost of Medicare and Medicaid, which are the primary drivers of our long-term deficits.
He would change Medicare into a premium-support program, in which the federal government would make fixed payments to each beneficiary. Looks good on paper for the government ledger, but the Congressional Budget Office has estimated that this plan would lead to massive increases in total health-care spending because personal costs would go up much more than government costs would go down. (The overall increase occurs because the reductions in health spending from increased cost-sharing are modest and because, under the Ryan plan, administrative costs are higher and negotiating leverage with hospitals is less.)
As for Medicaid, Ryan would turn it into a block-grant program. That would cap the federal government’s spending, but state governments would have to pick up the slack.
Neither approach is likely to be sustainable unless policymakers also make specific adjustments in the health-care payment system to constrain costs.
Ryan would adopt the same approach for revenue. He would cut tax rates dramatically while promising that revenue would be maintained at 19 percent of GDP by scaling back on tax breaks. But he doesn’t identify which tax exemptions he would eliminate.
The whole Ryan budget is thus effectively a super-SGR, with simplistic caps but no specific measures that could make those caps plausible.
The fiscal cliff the nation will reach at the end of this year — as tax cuts expire, broad spending reductions come due, and we again come up against the debt limit — provides an opportunity for both parties to do better. The coming debate should focus on substantial expansion of stimulus, via automatic stabilizers, with specific and credible, but delayed, deficit reduction.

The Ohio legislature passed a new biennial $55.8 billion budget for FY2012-13 on June 30, 2011, the last possible day to do so before the start of the new fiscal year on July 1, 2011.[1] Gov. John Kasich signed the budget bill, found here, into law four hours before the start of the fiscal year, after he had vetoed seven items in the budget.[2]
The state operates on a biennial budget cycle and the fiscal year begins on July 1.[3]
Ohio has a total state debt of approximately $239,540,635,000 when calculated by adding the total of outstanding official debt, pension and other post-employment benefits (OPEB) liabilities, Unemployment Trust Fund loans, and the FY2013 state budget gap.[4] The FY2013 state budget is down slightly from the FY2012 state budget debt total of $240,236,606,000.[5]
To balance the FY2012-13 budget, Gov. Kasich and legislators had to address an $8 billion gap between revenue and projected expenditures. However, as revenue projections improved, the budget gap decreased. State lawmakers though are taking criticism for increasing spending. The biennial general revenue budget grew from $50.7 billion under former Gov. Strickland to Kasich's $55.5 billion plan. [6]
Ohio's total state debt per capita is $20,748.52.[7]

Purpose: This concerns the exploitation of health care costs by health insurance companies for profit, companies who are dictating the cost of care that hospitals must charge patients. This legislation is piloting standards for Medicare and Medicaid costs, to prevent the government from being overcharged for services that taxpayers fund for the general welfare. Costs that could better be served creating a program to cover those that are uninsured at state levels, which did not occur with any of the legislation passed under Obama health reform.

WHO’S RESPONSIBLE FOR UNEMPLOYMENT?
SENATOR MARK PRYOR
WHY?
FAILURE TO ADMIT THE CLINTON ECONOMIC LEGACY WAS NO MATCH FOR THE OBAMACARE JOB KILLER.
#22 MISSOURI
MISSOURI RANKED 22nd WORST FOR UNEMPLOYMENT
STRATEGY
1) ANALYZE ’S ECONOMIC CAPABILITY/ECONOMIC PROFILE: (this includes natural resources, state government budget, and crime rate)
STATE BUDGET DEFICIT $65,791,997,000
The state of Missouri faced a budget shortfall by 2012 ranging between $600 million and $1 billion, with the state predicting the smaller figure and the Missouri Budget Project the higher estimate.[1] The state legislature passed a $23 billion budget for FY2012 on May 5, 2011, and it spent approximately the same amount as the FY2011 state budget.[2] Governor Jay Nixon, on June 10, 2011, made $172 million in budget cuts aimed in order to both balance the state finances and assist the state in recovering from natural disasters.[3] He signed the budget the day after making the cuts.[4]
Missouri operates on an annual budget cycle and begins the fiscal year on July 1 of each year.[5]
Missouri has a total state debt of approximately $65,791,997,000 when calculated by adding the total of outstanding official debt, pension and other post-employment benefits (OPEB) liabilities, Unemployment Trust Fund loans, and the FY2013 state budget budget gap.[6] The state debt total is down slightly from the FY2012 total of $66,307,890,000.[7]
Missouri's total state debt per capita is $10,945.83.[8]

2) COORDINATE WITH STATE LEADERSHIP: (employment agencies, state government budget balancing, crime reduction/community prevention)
MISSOURI’S HIGH VIOLENT CRIME RATE AND CRIMES TO PROPERTY FOR WOMEN MAKE IT ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACES TO LIVE, COMPARABLE TO THE CITY OF ATLANTA FOR THE WHOLE STATE, 17 CRIMES PER MILE.
CRIME IS CAUSING ENORMOUS STATE DEBT DETERRING JOB GROWTH: PRISON COSTS NEED TO BE REFORMED BY SIMILAR GA DRUG REFORM LAWS.
3) CREATE LOCAL JOBS AND ATTRACT INVESTORS: (DETERMINE IMMEDIATE JOB GROWTH AREAS AND ABILITY TO REPAY FEDERAL LOANS) TOURISM, CULTURE, MUSIC, AND SPORTS
SMALL BUSINESS CREATION BY WOMEN WITH COMMUNITY WATCH PROGRAMS AND DRUG REFORM ARE A MUST TO GET PEOPLE WORKING NOT SUSTAINING A GANG RACKET.
4) ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRACKING PROGRESS: (DELEGATION OF DUTIES, CONTRIBUTIONS AND ORCHESTRATION BY LEADERSHIP, CUMULATIVE RESULTS)

WHO’S RESPONSIBLE FOR UNEMPLOYMENT?
SENATOR CLAIRE MCCASKILL
WHY?
OBAMACARE, ENTITLEMENTS, AND CRIME ALL FEED HIGHER CRIME AND MAKE MISSOURI DANGEROUS FOR WOMEN. WOMEN ARE NOT COMFORTED BY BEING PACIFIED WITH THE PROMISE OF FEDERALLY FUNDED ABORTIONS AND BIRTH CONTROL WITH NO LEADERSHIP AND NO FUTURE LIVING IN MISSOURI.

Price Range $$$$ (50+) Awards 2012 STATEMENT OF COMPANY WORTH - $13,321 Haggai 1:9 Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the Lord of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house. Churlish souls stint their contributions to the ministry and missionary operations, and call such saving good economy; little do they dream that they are thus impoverishing themselves. Their excuse is that they must care for their own families, and they forget that to neglect the house of God is the sure way to bring ruin upon their own houses. Our God has a method in providence by which He can succeed our endeavours beyond our expectation, or can defeat our plans to our confusion and dismay; by a turn of His hand He can steer our vessel in a profitable channel, or run it aground in poverty and bankruptcy. It is the teaching of Scripture that the Lord enriches the liberal and leaves the miserly to find out that withholding tendeth to poverty. In a very wide sphere of observation, I have noticed that the most generous Christians of my acquaintance have been always the most happy, and almost invariably the most prosperous. I have seen the liberal giver rise to wealth of which he never dreamed; and I have as often seen the mean, ungenerous churl descend to poverty by the very parsimony by which he thought to rise. Men trust good stewards with larger and larger sums, and so it frequently is with the Lord; He gives by cartloads to those who give by bushels. Where wealth is not bestowed the Lord makes the little much by the contentment which the sanctified heart feels in a portion of which the tithe has been dedicated to the Lord. Selfishness looks first at home, but godliness seeks first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, yet in the long run selfishness is loss, and godliness is great gain. It needs faith to act towards our God with an open hand, but surely He deserves it of us; and all that we can do is a very poor acknowledgment of our amazing indebtedness to His goodness.

GOOD #LetsDoIt
WORD IS: PREPARE FOR A DIFFICULT FALL AND HARD WINTER. IF YOU DON’T LAND A JOB BY SEPTEMBER, YOU MAY NOT GET ONE UNTIL JANUARY.
PLAN AHEAD TO STORE FOOD AND A PLACE TO LAY YOUR HEAD.
YEAR-ROUND SCHOOLING HAS INCREASED OUR BUDGET COSTS, ESPECIALLY WITH GAS GOING UP, GIVING US LESS TIME OFF TO FARM OR WORK A SUMMER JOB:
IN HAVING TO KEEP THE KIDS FOR A DURATION OF TIME THAT PREVENTS GETTING HIRED OR FINDING A RELIABLE NANNY, AND IT HAS DECREASED THE SUMMER TOURISM BOOM, TRAVELING, AND RESTAURANT INDUSTRIES, WHO ENJOYED 3 SEASONS: SPRING, SUMMER, AND FALL...
WHO ARE NOW FOLDING BECAUSE OF OBAMACARE UNCERTAINTY AND THE BUDGET IMPOSITIONS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, ONLY GETTING SEASONAL BOOSTS INSTEAD OF THE SEASONAL INCOME OF TIMES PAST.
WITH THE HOUSE PASSING A BUDGET AND THE TEA PARTY AGREEING TO WORK OUT CUTS AND DIFFERENCES IN COMMITTEE, DEMOCRATS WILL TRY EVERY TRICK IN THE BOOK TO NOT WRITE A BUDGET AND DEFRAUD THEIR DONORS.
CONTINUE TO PLAN AHEAD TO NEXT YEAR BY BUILDING UP FOOD SUPPLIES AND RESTORE YOUR CREDIT AND SAVE YOUR MONEY:
