The speculation ends later this morning as Governor Bob Holden delivers his State of the State Address containing his budget proposals. Holden says he’ll do what’s necessary to deal with what he says is a one-billion dollar shortfall. But, he insists he’ll keep an open mind in dealing with the situation.
