"I guess the state has really cleaned up. They have limited hot rod building to 500 rods a year. I paid about $1400 for my SB 100 adventure. Lets see $1400X500 rods=$700,000. $700K is really going to make a big dent in the black hole called the state budget. It will pay the direct and indirect cost for about 4 state employees."

IMHO, the real reason the state is taking this approach is to garner headlines for the next election cycle. The politicians don't truly care about running a deficit or fixing a deficit. They just care about getting elected - hence the shock, outrage, and other flatulance.
