State Budget Failure
I along with my 16 Republican colleagues in the House and 27 Democrats recently rejected a reckless budget, as it was light on reform and heavy on taxes. The Budget also harms local cities and towns, as well as public safety. Disappointing 110 Democrats and the Governor approved it.
The misguided solution to the fiscal crisis was to increase taxes on sales, meals, telecommunications, alcohol, satellite television, hotel stays, nursing home residents and fees at the Registry. We also break the promise of lottery revenue being dedicated to education and consume another $199 million from the state's stabilization account. The budget also borrows from the 2011 Federal Stimulus funds to put it into balance. This is very disappointing and sets up another structural budget problem for next year.
