Budget Cuts

I find it interesting that it made the news today how Gov. Patrick has cut $122.5 million out of the budge of $28.1 billion . . . .

Is it a coincidence that this has happened only a few days after they reported that the repeal of the income tax has made it onto the fall ballot? It sounds like they are getting scared. . . It also sounds like they think that this income tax repeal may actually pass and they are scared.

I hope this repeal passes. This state is out of control, and it will hurt to get it back under control but this is a great first start. We need to cut off some of the flow of cash to these folks, then get things cleaned up.

I fully expect that the legislature will vote in a new income tax before the ink is dry repealing the current one but that is fine. At least we will then know who voted for it and we can work to get them pulled from office and replaced by someone else. Hey, it can’t get much more corrupt in our one party system here so we may as well risk some new folks in charge. . .
