ALL That was done was give us a 30 day extension of last years budget. the house & senate have NOT yet agreed on this years fiscal budget.

ALSO, Our state income tax was raised (slightly, as the actual budget that keeps being denied wants our income tax raised to 7.0% were currently at like 3.5% or something.)

so if the House and Senate do not accept Our Govs. HUGE Tax Hike in the next 30 days the shutdown will happen again.

PS, even though the shutdown was curtailed not ALL State workers got to comeback to work, I'm still on 'layoff' until further notice (their saying it will be just 2 months or so before my department is reopened)
