I received this e-mail message from the Governor’s office moments ago. It’s great they passed a budget in the dead of night ignoring the citizens and rally’s held at the Capital protesting cuts to education and medical. be
Barbara,
This morning, we passed Arizona’s Balanced Budget, a fiscally-responsible, bipartisan spending plan that sets priorities, makes real permanent decisions and solves the state’s structural deficit while protecting vulnerable populations. This is a values-based budget that reflects key priorities for the state of Arizona. It protects classrooms, child safety and public safety – all while eliminating the state’s structural deficit by 2017 and protecting you, the taxpayer, from a tax increase.
Here are the highlights:
Fiscal Responsibility:
Child and Public Safety:
Classrooms First:
Higher Education:
Our budget recognizes that meaningful and lasting improvement in our schools and economy won’t happen until government stops spending money it doesn’t have, and starts living within its means – the same way Arizona families, businesses and individuals do day in and day out. Many thanks,
Governor Doug Ducey |
