Pick a number. 2.5%. 5%. 6%. 7.5%. And cut every budget across the board by that amount and let the chips fall as they may. If everyone is pissed off it's a good start.

It's probably going to play out just as it will in CT. Lots of talk of shared sacrifice but in reality the onus will fall on those paying the taxes with the sacrifice being of the pick-and-choose variety.
