Patrick and Cahill: Proven Ineffective Once Again
BOSTON, MA - The following is a statement from Charlie Baker regarding the new budget gap in Massachusetts:
"This is just another example of Deval Patrick and Tim Cahill's fundamental incompetence when it comes to the Commonwealth's budget. In the face of the worst economic times since Governor Dukakis, their failure is intolerable. Our state's budget should be the top priority for the Governor and the Treasurer yet time and time again unanticipated spending and rising costs catch both of them off guard. Their lack of leadership on the budgetary process is unacceptable and the taxpayers and business owners of Massachusetts deserve better."
From today's State House News Service story, "New budget gap seen opening for state, could near $300M":
"The rising red ink will likely force the state to deploy some array of painful late-year budget cuts, new withdrawals from the already heavily depleted stabilization fund, and tightened spending management in the executive agencies. 'We've gotten information in recent days that suggests we have an additional $195 million to $295 million dollar exposure for this year,' Gonzalez told the News Service." |
