The kicker law should be revised so that the extra revenue would be placed in a fund to be used only when revenues fall below the expected revenue that was used to determine the budget.  Just as a business has a line of credit to cover the times when actual revenue falls below expected revenue, the state needs a line of credit, hence the fund created by the revised kicker law, would cover the dips that do occur from time to time.
