"Less steak, more beans"

Nevada has the unfortunate distinction of being the state hardest hit by the economic downturn.

I just heard State Treasurer Kate Marshall being interviewed on NPR. When asked how the state would handle further revenue declines (a special session was held over the summer to reduce spending in the current budget), Marshall replied, "Less steak, more beans."

And her response to a question about what she was most concerned about in these tough times left me scratching my head.

Her answer: "My employees."

How about the citizens of Nevada?
