Looks like she may have her facts wrong. Her budgets were fiscal 08 and 09:
Fiscal Year Expenditures (billions)
2000 $8.5
2001 $9.0
2002 $9.4
2003 $9.7
2004 $10.0
2005 $10.0
2006 $10.8
2007 $11.6
2008 $12.5
2009 $13.4
It’s so easy to refudiate what she doesn’t say...
” I engaged in hiring freezes and reduced earmarks by 86% and vetoed the largest amounts in our state’s history. Despite having a surplus that’s real leadership and that’s courage. “
I love how you people lie. Include FY 2010 in your count and presto your entire point falls apart
She cut the budget from what the legislature wanted to spend - all while having surplus revenues.
You do understand it is the legislature that spends the money right?
Saint Sarah has her facts wrong! She actually increased spending! Thanks for posting this!
