Could be a good thing, actually.  Two-thirds of Legislature's bills for 2023 have died.  Including the universal basic income proposal.  

The Legislature will focus more time on the state budget in the second half of the session. It's a fraught process since, unlike Congress, the Legislature has to craft a balanced budget - money spent has to be balanced by money coming in.

And with the tax base declining, they can't go hog-wild, thankfully.
