The CBR is $8 billion. Oil won't hit $80 without a major war (is that what you're hoping for?). Fracking has established a new ceiling, far below $80. So glad you're not in the legislature, though your reasoning skills are above the legislature average (no, that was not a compliment).

If I read this correctly, they want to block the Governor from accepting money that was not available or anticipated when the budget was passed.
