Alabama Lawmakers Cut Budget 18% - The responsible answer to a budget imbalance. Luckily, the voters had a chance to force their rulers in this direction rather than their first choice, a humongous tax increase.
CAGW Releases California Piglet Book - As Tom McClintock has been saying, there is so much fat and waste in the PRC's budget that it could be balanced by some fiscally responsible (an oxymoron for most politicians) trimming and not by raising taxes as most of the other candidates are advocating. You can download the actual pdf booklet here.
SBSC Releases Its 8th Annual State by State Rankings of Small Business Climates - Interesting look at how friendly the different states are for running a small business. Number one friendliest is South Dakota, which has no income tax, as do many of the top ten. Arkansas is 25, while the PRC is 46, five spots above the worst location for small biz, Washington DC.
