Bentley trying to get tax increases is great and all, but I think he's pissing in the wind. What happens when he doesn't get those tax cuts? The budget still has to be balanced right?

It's going to be a mess. The thing is, a lottery would take at least a year to implement, then even longer to start seeing revenues so it does nothing for this next coming year's budget.

It will be one way or another. Probably through some compromise on increased revenues and FURTHER cuts for state services-Mental Health, Prisons, Medicaid, DHR, etc...
I'm pretty sure if he vetoes what comes out of the special session, the legislature could override him with a either a simple or 2/3 majority. Either way, this whole thing sucks. We borrowed app 150mil per year for the last 3 years, knowing full well this shite was coming, yet the legislature did not a damn thing to prevent it or deal with it.
