STATEMENT OF REPRESENTATIVE KARYN POLITO ON GOVERNOR PATRICK’S FY-2011 BUDGET
“Governor Patrick’s Fiscal Year 2011 budget is a missed opportunity to restore stability to our state’s finances and to make the sort of responsible decisions Massachusetts residents are relying upon to lead us out of this recession.
You don’t have to look very deep into the Governor’s budget to see that his numbers don’t work. Governor Patrick is still relying on one-time revenue from the federal government and on savings from the Rainy Day Fund to pay our bills, and he’s betting on a hope that tax collections will suddenly reverse trend and pick up later this year. That’s a risky bet to make and it’s an unsustainable and unreliable way to spend money.”
