From what we hear, the July 29th tax & budget deal may be falling through. If it does, that won't necessarily be a bad thing, assuming:
1) no tax increases are enacted or referred to the ballot;
2) the state can't find more than $1 billion in one-time proceeds from asset sales and sale-leaseback schemes;
3) the state can't figure out how to legally or effectively bond; and,
4) the above three conditions result in the Legislature and Governor having to cut $1.5 billion out of the General Fund in the coming months.
Here is a tentative scoring rubric for that kind of no-deal scenario:
