Governor announces plan for balancing FY 2010 budget

Governor Parkinson announced Friday morning his plan to make up $106 million shortfall in the current budget year. Two of the measures included in the plan can be accomplished by the governor himself, but the remaining four measures will require legislative action. In laying out his plan, the governor spared education, social services, and public safety from further cuts in the FY 2010 year. The governor maintains that $21million of the shortfall can be explained by tax refunds that were paid out earlier than usual, due to electronic filing this year, so his plan addresses the remaining $85 million shortfall. To read details of the governor’s proposal, click here.
