Doing More with Less
As we enter the 2009 Legislative Session we face budget challenges that are real - but like any challenge, it is also an opportunity. Our proposed FY 10 budget includes serious reforms that make government do more with less, while mitigating the impact on Health Care and Higher Education - which are often the most vulnerable areas of the budget. We have the opportunity now to make real, generational reforms in our state government and let there be no doubt: the only way we can face our budget challenges is head on and I look forward to working with the legislature on these plans in the days and weeks ahead.
