Arizona Along with Other Democratic Governers...
...should call upon the Democratic majority in Congress to insist on funding federal mandates. There has been some talk that this lame duck Congressional post election session may leave the 2007 budgeting process up to the Democratic majority in order to delay some of the items on Democrats agendas and leave the Dems to deal with the mess that is the 2007 budget. This may also force Dems to look to raising taxes to present a balanced budget to the President and basically "clean up" the mess left by this outgoing "do-nothing" Congress.
Well, fine. Bring it on, and in the process the Democratic majority, along with the Governors of the States of this Union should become very vocal in insisting upon the Federal Government funding its mandates to the States. No Child Left Behind, The Clear Act, Real-ID and SCAAP along with many others should either be gutted, scrapped or funded.
Shifting the federal tax burden to the States is a practice that should be eliminated. If you pass it, and/or require the States to enforce/implement it, you should fund it period.
There is no doubt a great deal of work to be done across this Country by this new Congress, but I believe that they are up to the task.
