Not to get too far into other aspects of politics, but part of the reason we're second to last on that list is because our state government is hemorrhaging money. Funds are being allocated to departments, and government entities that don't even need it. They cry for more money when the budget time comes around because if they don't, they know that they'll get cut. This mismanagement of funds is a huge problem in all states, however in ours this issue seems to be extremely prevalent.
