Looks like Senate ultra RINOs Raggiowe and Townspend want Fibbons to a call a special session in order to give them one more opportunity to vote for higher taxes. They're both term-limited out (Townspend in 2010, I think). If we had small government in this state, the biannual budget would be less than $200M. The budget would be in SURPLUS. That's right. Fibbons would have to call a special session to figure out how to REBATE all the money piling up in the treasury.

What's all this nonsense about school underfunding breeding lawsuits?! The legal (constitutional) minimum for K-12 is one school per district (18 statewide). Yep. The legislature could vote out of existence *everything* above that. Slam dunk.

The legal minimum for NSHE is three departments: Mining, Agriculture, and Engineering. Look it up. The legislature could dissolve DRI, UNLV, NSC, etc in one rollcall. In fact, the University of Nevada was originally endowed with capital sufficient to make it self-sustaining in perpetuity (taxpayer backup required only if some Regent bankrupted the trust). All students majoring in one of those aforementioned fields should be receiving free rides. or else paying just nominal tuition. The liberal arts students should be paying $600 per credit "user fees".

Only a RINO lawyer like Billus Raggiowe would resort to legal scare tactics.
