What a difference a year makes!  You all know Riley's
thoughts now.  Here is what he said a little over a
year ago:
>  
>  "I am a firm believer that we have enough money in
this state to operate each one of the departments in
the state. I have never voted for a tax increase in my
life. I think it's a ridiculous concept today to even
say that we need additional taxes with the kind of
flagrant abuse that all of us have seen in the last
two or three years. We shouldn't have been in
proration for the last 50 years. It makes no sense to
continue to do something that causes more problems
than it solves".
