You’ve got it wrong. We were headed for financial disaster. That is not disputed and he is not headed to a wild spending spree. He has a very frustrated legislature that would like to spend. He’s focused on building reserves and getting the pension problem addressed (btw, did you see that the number of state retirees just surpassed the number of people paying into the PERS retirement system last week?)
The rest of it I’m sure you and I agree and I always respect your viewpoints. But on the state’s finances there just is no other way to look at it other than Brown stopped a financial train wreck.
First, I agree that Brown will surprise at times. I don’t disagree that he’s probably a lot better than other Democrat governors in the state. What I have been going by are some reports I have seen that state spending is going up in certain areas. That could be bogus, and it may not be as significant as I thought it was.
I do believe the state is in a world of hurt, and it isn’t getting better. If your view is closer to reality, I’m not threatened by it. I appreciate you getting it out there.
I’m not here to take men down who do decent things, I don’t care if they’re Democrat or Republican. I have said here many times that Brown will surprise at times, and do pretty much the right thing.
Overall, I don’t particularly care for the guy. He’s just another Leftist doing what Leftists do overall. Perhaps this is an exception.
I appreciate your comments regarding my views.
