Spend & Tax - The Legislature Cannot Make Hard choices
Governor Douglas has recently written to Senate President Pro Tem Peter Shumlin stronglly urging him to deal with the tough decisions necessary to establish a sustainable Vermont budget and set Vermont on a better economic course. The Legislature seems unable to make the admittedly difficult decisions to cut spending and not raise taxes.The recent announcements by dealer.com and IBM that will add jobs in Chittenden County is good news. We wish the Legislature would control spending and taxes so that more businesses would create jobs in the state. Perhaps they will do so before adjournment, but their record in supporting economic growth is poor. We encourage them to do better before adjounment.The Governor's letter is attached.
