All local governments have the powers to achieve what the State does for them currently. The easiest way with any request for funding is to examine the latest audited Balance Sheet of the requestor for the funding. The ones with high equity should be eliminated for any consideration out of pocket. As an example, they can deal directly with the Federal Government for Grants and other funding and pay the match. The local governments that do not have a decent balance sheet equity; study their taxation powers to see if they have utilized them fully. If not eliminate those requests out of pocket. In the case of Non Profit Entities, make sure they have exhausted all their powers first, including fund raisers. If not deny the request.

For the Legislators that do not have a financial background, the State has numerous financial audit agencies that can examine the Audited Balance Sheets for all the requestors of funding and report the true status of the requestor to you before you draft a bill and vote vote.

The idea is that we the voters deal directly with our local government as to what we really want. If we want more or less from local government the decision is strictly ours, at the local level, not government in any fashion telling us what we should or should not have. Another benefit is each legislator does not have to work there long hours to deliver pork to their respective district.That practice goes away at the State level. The voters decide what pork they want at the local level and pay for it!

The above will make our new Governor's task much easier to balance the budget and start paying back the loan from the Constitutional Budget Reserve utilized to balance previous State budgets.
