September 22, 2011

We learned this morning that the Governor will call a Special Session of the Legislature, likely starting at the end of November. Last weeks revenue forecast projected a $1.3 billion budget deficit, after only 3 months into the 2011-13 biennial budget. If the state spends approximately $40 million a day, which is does, how much bigger will the deficit be at the end of November? Another $1.3 billion? $1.8 billion? $2.4 billion?

Folks email, call or write the Governor and tell her now if the time to start addressing the budget shortfall and waiting until November is simply irresponsible. If not now, when? If not us, who?
