If JUA is DOA: What's Lynch's backup plan?

It was a busy day, and we nearly missed the Union Leader's editorial asking what happens if the state loses its case seeking to use $110 million from the Joint Underwriting Association:

The state constitution requires a balanced budget. But we might have just ended one $65 million in the red. If that's the case, Lynch will have to find the money somewhere else. But where? He can't raise fees or taxes without legislative approval. He will probably have to cut the budget his office claimed had no more fat to cut.

We suspect that the governor is not sleeping all that well these days.
