Election, Part II

There are those — myself included — who see the defeat of the first two ballot questions as a slap against using budget gimmicks and pushing the state farther into debt. We editorialized against the first three questions for a simple reason: The state is without a plan to address its debt problem or its structural deficit and shouldn’t borrow more money until it crafts one.

I stand by that idea. I hope our elected leaders will listen, address the issue and then come back with the stem cell plan when money is not so tight.
