Well, all right then:
The taxpayer refund was among the few sticking points between the House and Senate version of the budgets. House Republicans supported the governor's idea, but Republican Senate leaders said it was more responsible to use any excess money to pay down unfunded pension liabilities.
The compromise budget proposal announced Thursday would meld the two ideas together.
If state reserves contain more than 10 percent of budgeted spending, half the extra money would be used for pension funds and half would be given back to taxpayers.
I can't wait to take all the money that'll be sent back to me and buy myself a . . . candy bar! If I can get someone to go halfsies.
