State tax revenues have fallen far below estimates, creating a shortfall that officials say will extend into next year. To balance the budget, officials are faced with cutting aid to the counties, laying off state workers, raising taxes or a combination of those actions.
We'd like to know what action you would put at the top of the list. Would you choose first to cut aid to counties, lay off state workers, raise taxes or take some other action?
