How about equal percentage from all of the above? Only fair way to do it - screw everyone equally.
Oh come now, you're not that naieve are you? Just like the feds, every state budget has it's share of pork projects, earmarks, and otherwise totally useless spending items.
Four hundred million shortfall? Hell, that's pocket change compared to what most other states are facing. Even without doing away with any of the BS spending I mentioned, $400 million total in cuts spread across the entire state budget doesn't sound like a show-stopper.
