Taxonomy Generated Menus for a View with arguments

Hi, I am looking for a way that a hierarchal drop-down menu can be generated to point to a view with taxonomy arguments to filter what is displayed.

For example:
I have two content types (news & announcements).
Each content type has the same Taxonomy Vocab (group)
I have a page View for each content type (news_view & announcements_view)
Each page view has a path set: (mysite.com/news & mysite.com/announcements)
Also, each page view has a menu entry (news & announcements in the primary menu)

What I want:
The news & announcements menu items should be lists with the taxonomy terms below.

So, the menu would look like this:
news (http://mysite.com/news)
-kids (http://mysite.com/news/kids)
--subgroup1 (http://mysite.com/news/kids/subgroup1)
--subgroup2 (http://mysite.com/news/kids.subgroup2)
-teens (http://mysite.com/news/teens)
--subgroup1 (http://mysite.com/news/teens/subgroup1)
--subgroup2 (http://mysite.com/news/teens/subgroup2)
-adults (http://mysite.com/news/adults)
--subgroup1 (http://mysite.com/news/adults/subgroup1)
--subgroup2 (http://mysite.com/news/adults/subgroup2)

announcements (http://mysite.com/announcements)
-kids (http://mysite.com/announcements/kids)
--subgroup1 (http://mysite.com/announcements/kids/subgroup1)
--subgroup2 (http://mysite.com/announcements/kids/subgroup2)
-teens (http://mysite.com/announcements/teens)
--subgroup1 (http://mysite.com/announcements/teens/subgroup1)
--subgroup2 (http://mysite.com/announcements/teens/subgroup2)
-adults (http://mysite.com/announcements/adults)
--subgroup1 (http://mysite.com/announcements/adults/subgroup1)
--subgroup2 (http://mysite.com/announcements/adults/subgroup2)

I hope you get the idea.
How can drupal be configured to do this?
What modules would be needed?

Thanks for the help!

Not quite

I am working with the taxonomy menu module, but that does not quite work in this case.
Taxonomy Menu only creates a single menu item for a taxonomy vocabulary.

I need a taxonomy sub-menu for 2 or more views.

My idea is a module that takes the page display path and menu setting and then adds sub-menu items below that menu item with taxonomy tids appended for the argument.

Thanks for the suggestion, though!
Any more?

Update

Looks like version 3 of Taxonomy Menu might be exactly what I am looking for....
Lets hope that development continues and it gets released soon!
