Republicans at state level fret over GOP tax overhaul
CORONADO, Calif. — While Congress races to pass a massive tax overhaul by the end of the year, Republicans in state capitals across the country find themselves in a bind as they plan their own state budget requirements.
On one hand, Republicans at the state level say their party must prove it is able to handle the responsibilities of leadership by notching legislative victories that voters will be able to judge next November.
On the other, some legislative leaders say the tax package being pushed by congressional Republicans will undoubtedly impact their states in a negative way, foisting new uncertainty into the budgetary process as tax collections have already begun to sag.
“The Republicans have got to show they can do something, they can do something good, and they can get it done while they have the power so people can judge for themselves,” said Brent Hill, the Republican president of the Idaho state Senate.
“If Republicans go into [the midterm elections] without having accomplished anything, people get impatient, and they’re going to be looking at another way.”

That last paragraph sounds like some excuse from a frat boy who got his term paper in after an all night kegger. The paper reeks of beer, puke and God knows what else.
