Gov. M. Jodi Rell is expected to deliver her budget address in less than 24 hours, but she's already hinted at what people can expect. The budget is so important this year that she took a few minutes to address Connecticut yesterday in an unprecedented television appearance.
Did you watch it?
I was busy working on another story, but I do have a copy of her speech sitting on my desk.
She says she is not raising taxing and that she will cut spending, but does not share the details of her budget plan. Those will be released tomorrow.
Where should she make cuts? Will state lawmakers be on board? Can she balance a biennial budget that already has a deficit of nearly $6 billion attached to it without raising any taxes?
There are so many questions. Everyone keeps saying it is a hard budget year, and lawmakers say the deficits need to be tackled. When push comes to shove; will they be willing to compromise? Will they be willing to make cuts and minimize spending?
Time will tell.
Myrecordjournal.com will provide you with information on Rell's budget plan tomorrow. Be sure to check the Web site!
