Kim Kataguiri: For two years I've been warning about this issue of mandatory expenditures bulldozing the budget; we no longer have discretionary spending.

Kim Kataguiri: Our spending is tied; increases in revenue force us to spend more because of earmarks to tax revenue and to net current revenue.
Kim Kataguiri: which returned with the transition PEC.
