...billion) on to a bill to extend the badly needed revenues (estimated at $2.8 billion) from excises and the 52% corporation-tax rate.

In other words the Democratic fee for preserving $2.8 billion has been fixed at $2.1 billion...

In these days when corruption is ordinarily recognized only in governments long in power, most young state administrations are fairly popular. Governors needn't kiss babies to get publicity; every legislative message, highway dedication, school visit, or pardon for Killer Slazem is framed to make the governor appear benevolent and unselfish.
