1. "Reducing the state's budget deficit" ?????
Ummmm, do you think he'll point out that his budget is actually 1% LARGER than the previous budget?

Do you think that he'll point out that he gave $140 Million in tax breaks to his wealthiest donors in his first week in office, and how that revenue loss is being made up on the backs of the lowest paid State employees?

Do you think he'll point out that he deferred maintenance on the State's bridges, highways and other infrastructure to get his budget to balance? That he refinanced debt, "kicking the can down the road" as he said he would never do?

His approach to budgeting is to give more and more to his friends, while robbing those that he disdains. He's a thief, a con-man. Nothing more.


Let him get is 15 minutes. He'll be recalled in January.
