Stateline.org offers up a running summary of state-of-the-state proposals as presented by the nation's governors. It's a pretty bleak list, if you think about it.

Among the low-lights:

• Significant increases in spending on K-12, without much reform (Alaska);
  
• Making electricity more expensive through renewable energy mandates (Arizona) and reducing electricty use by 15% (New York);
• Expanding government's role in health care (I lost track); 
• Fingerprint every fourth-grade student in the state (Delaware);
• Forcibly reduce greenhouse gas emissions (Delaware; Kansas);  
• Introduce a slacker mandate for health insurance (Vermont);
• Introduce a government-funded and program of giving health screenings to all children (West Virginia)

Among the good ideas:

• Budget caps and other spending restrictions (California; Indiana; New Jersey; South Carolina);
• Eliminate certificate-of-need (CON) laws in Alaska;
• Eliminate "economic development" incentives limited to specific businesses (South Carolina);  
• Phase out the personal property tax (Idaho); 
• Privatize the state lottery (New York); 
• Reduce property taxes (Georgia; Indiana) ;

It's going to be a long year.
