Yes, although I would like to take an ax to the state government's role in general. We are too top heavy. The founders never intended we have such a top heavy government. I will try to eliminate unnecessary state level expenditures.
I believe the emergency managers have been effective. Unless dollars are 100% needed, then no dollars should be attached.
