Prior to yesterday's votes on the Senate and House, the Nashua Telegraph absolutely lambasted the Governor and Legislature over the state budget they concocted:
But we believe the governor is mistaken when he calls this a “responsible budget that fits with the times” and urges the House and Senate to approve it under the potential threat of a continuing resolution that would cost the state $11 million a month if a budget isn’t in place by the end of June.
We don’t believe the rosy revenue projections. We don’t believe enough was done to reduce the bottom line. And we don’t believe the administration will make it until the end of the year without having to make significant adjustments when revenues fail to meet expectations.
Alas, neither the Telegraph, several other editorial pages, 100 protestors on the State House steps, nor Charlie Arlinghaus were able to persuade our Legislature to nix this budget.
