Newsome / Stegmaier propose postponing tough decisions, continue shell game

From this morning's RTD....
Local funding for schools, which makes up about half the budget, will dip by 1.7 percent with the inclusion of the $12 million in prior year savings. Without it, the reduction would be closer to 7 percent.

The county plans to partially offset a $35.4 million revenue shortfall from the current year by returning $12 million in prior-year savings to the school system.
The budget man tells you all you need to know...
"It's important to note that the 2.1 percent reduction would have been higher had it not been for the use of those one-time revenues,"
Why are these pro-bloated government folks given a pass? First, they use federal "stimulus" dollars to support an unsustainable budget.  Now, they are using another one time budget fix.  These folks simple do not have long term forecasts in their vocabulary.  If it doesn't get fixed this year, the bloat lives on...

And The Taxpayer will be there to fight it....

Taxpayers are frank; but, always polite. Use commonsense and write like you would to your mother...
