Guess Which Party He Belongs To

This governor of a state is, like many other governors, faced with a state budget deficit.

He proposes to:

• Raise fees for driver's licenses and vehicle registration.
• Raise licensing fees for professionals who are licensed by the state.
• Cut medicaid spending.
• Cut educational spending.
• Close state facilities.
• Lay off some state workers.
• Cut aid to municipalities.
  
• Raise taxes on gasoline
• Raise taxes on cable TV
• Raise the fines for motor vehicle violations.

What he does not propose to do:

• Tax rich people.

In that his proposals would seem to land most heavily on the working poor and the middle class, you'd think that he might be one of those sterling elected officials from the Party of Hoover.

And you would be wrong.
