Message: [QUOTE="whaler11, post: 2843446, member: 676"] How is not being able to fund higher ed the same thing as not existing? The state got saved this year when they got a huge one time windfall because the feds closed a loophole that forced hedge funds billionaires to pay taxes on money accumulating off-shore. They have 127 billion and growing in unfunded pension liability and the wealthiest families are trickling out of state every month. 36% of the state income tax comes from 10 towns and 51% of the state’s revenue is from the income tax.... 19-20 already projects to a 2 billion deficit - and since any tax increase is going to be self-defeating so start looking for non-higher ed spending that isn’t fixed costs... good luck.
