OK. You want more state tax dollars to go to security.  Now, which 
choice would you prefer?

A) Name a state agency or service who's budget you will cut, and be 
prepared to live without that service at current levels.  You take it

from higher ed, you have to accept the tuition hike that will follow.

You take it from transportation, you have to live with more potholes 
and dangerously degraded bridges.

B) Accept a tax hike to cover the cost.

Now for the tricky part - convince enough *other* voters of your
state 
that a legislator can launch a bill to make it happen without 
committing political suicide.

Or better yet:

D) Change the mindset/policies of the government agency to run it like a
for-profit business.

C) Reduce the politicians salaries.

Trust me, people don't work for the government to earn a high salary...
