If they refuse to create efficiencies to free up revenue there are other options to increase revenue, like legalizing a bunch of activities that people are already doing anyway. A couple of resort casinos similar to what Atlantic City did would allow tourists to leave a lot more money here. Then there is hemp, cannabis, etc. This state could be swimming in "free money" if it was managed correctly. Atlantic City failed because all the municipalities around it saw the cash cow and legalized their own gambling establishments, so people in the area no longer had any incentive to go there (its kind of in the middle of nowhere), and it's not a global vacation destination like Hawaii.
