Final State Budget Vote Coming Up Today – Call your Legislators!

State senators and state representatives will vote today on a final budget proposal (House Bill 1) that will cut BILLIONS of dollars to public schools, college financial aid, hospitals, public safety and critical state jobs. 

At least $6 billion will be left unspent in the self-replenishing Rainy Day Fund.  Natural gas companies will keep their $1 billion a year tax giveaway.

Do you find this hard to believe?  This sounds like a great betrayal of the people’s trust.

Call your legislators’ office and tell them to vote NO on any budget proposal as long as it includes cuts while leaving money sitting in the state treasury.
