More evidence shortfall isn't the problem

Data from the Tax Foundation out today suggests sending more money to Frankfort won't solve the state's spending problem.

From Fiscal Year 2007's actual state operating revenue of $21.5 billion to Fiscal Year 2008's estimated state operating revenue of $25 billion, Kentucky's revenue growth was higher than every other state in the nation except Louisiana.

Can't help wondering where all that money went and why that isn't the burning question of the day rather than how to cram more tax increases down taxpayers' throats.
