Lamenting the 'tough economic circumstances', the Governor signed the budget. For goodness sake, it's less than a 3% reduction from the prior year, and you'd think the politicians lost a collective kidney.
The budget signed by the Governor today, coupled with the supplemental legislation he is filing, is 3 percent lower than budget he signed just one year ago.
It is, as noted earlier, the 2nd largest budget in the history of the state, and almost 6.5% greater than the 2007 budget.
