STATEMENT OF KARYN POLITO CALLING ON THE LEGISLATURE TO SUSPEND SUMMER RECESS AND RETURN TO WORK ON BUDGET
"The state budget Governor Patrick signed into law yesterday is a ticking time bomb for the taxpayers of Massachusetts. It relies on too much borrowing and one-time gimmicks. It is almost completely lacking in any serious structural reform. These are critical times. For that reason, I am calling on House Speaker DeLeo and Senate President Murray to suspend legislative rules and hold formal sessions of the General Court throughout this summer dedicated solely to the budget. We need to evaluate every spending program in the budget. If a program is not working, it should be eliminated. If it is not a core service, it should be re-evaluated. The last thing we should do is to ignore the obvious problems in our budget and pretend that we've solved them."
