Why 12 Special Advisers in this economic climates? Why can these governors reasons at all and use the allocation to develop the state? Only 2 out of 36 states can stand on their own if no Federal allocation. Where is the sense here if a state cannot sustain to generate own revenue, only depend on Federal allocations. Shameful of creating states.
