Poking around a bit on the issue of "putting items into state budgets that will force not only current spending..but also future spending.."
It looks to me like a few Republican governors with presidential ambitions - Palin, Pawlenty, Jindal - suggesting the bill contains unfunded state mandates...but offer no specificity on such mandates.
