State of State: Top priorities (updated at 2:15 p.m.)

Douglas puts "affordability" first: "With health care premiums increasing by double digits, fuel topping three dollars a gallon and property taxes continuing a steady climb, families are feeling the squeeze... we must keep our vision far-reaching, but our goals practical, achievable and affordable."

Rank those three items.

Both Health Care increases and Fuel costs increases outrank property tax increases by huge margins.

Healthcare by ~2030%, energy by ~20-25%, and property taxes by a mere 2%.
