Abstract

"Politics and Other Mistakes" piece predicting the failure of the bond package in the Legislature due to partisan politics. The Democrats passed this year's budget, including nearly $450 million in borrowing, without Republican support. Angry about the way the budget was handled, many Republicans are preparing to veto any bonding. The Democrats can determine how much of a role politics will play as to whether the bonds are presented as single items--some of which might pass--or a single package, which won't pass.
