Quote of the Day: "I think there's going to be a budget showdown"

by: Jason Springer

Sun Apr 04, 2010 at 01:23:45 PM EDT



Speaker Oliver isn't mincing words about where we are headed with the disagreement over the Governor's budget proposal and cuts:
"I think there's going to be a budget showdown," she said. "And again this is going to take us back to that whole ideological, philosophical divide of the two parties and what we believe in."
The rhetoric on both sides is setting things up for a budget showdown. We'll have to see whether the actions of all involved back up the talk that has already gone on.

I sure hope so (4.00 / 1)

Christie, is showing some flexibility, but he is not going to cave in. The only way to redress his harsh cuts and inject some some help for those most vulnerable and investments to strengthen the economy will be through tough negotiating and a final showdown at the corral around June 30.
Both Oliver and Sweeney have drawn the line on some of his cuts, and they now have to enforce party discipline and duke it out with the Governor.

"The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die." - Sen. Ted Kennedy
