Will the State Avoid Government Shutdown/Who will blink first?

I put two titles in here today because there could be two titles. A policy oriented phrase or one that a media group might use to grap your attention.  Yes, I admit that talking about finances is never the sexiest topic to talk about but its also a situation if not dealt with honestly or in a timely manner can bring disasterous result which is why the state is at an impass today. 

I think that if there is a government shutdown the republcans will probably bear the political brunt of it because the governor is not up for re-election for awhile and the republicans are in control of the state legislature.  I always found it interesing when it is reported that the leadership is close to deal. Either you have a deal or you dont.  I guess theres a lot of political posturing on both sides.  They need to convince their base that they fought hard for their values and principles.  a deal means no goverment shutdown.  No deal means government shutdown.

Happy 4h of July Everyone!
