IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING

No action required; standard legislative process reporting.

Why This Score

Routine state budget passage via normal legislative compromise and gubernatorial signature. No constitutional damage drivers implicated (no election interference, rule of law breach, separation of powers issue, civil rights impact, regulatory capture, corruption, or violence). No hype/distraction indicators either - standard fiscal news reporting with duplicate wire coverage. Both A and B scores are near zero, meeting Noise classification criteria (A<25, no mechanism, and content itself signals routine governance).
