Wes,
Good to see you back. And yes, things here are a mess and nothing is getting a lot better in this area as more and more people leave. Raising taxes is no solution as it just causes more small businesses to close and they lose those taxes and actually collect less than before the latest tax raise. The unemployment rate here is the highest it has ever been, but it is slowly going down as a few places are hiring back some of their former employees.
