This Problem Will Not Go Away

8.8% unemployment, a $385 million deficit, major companies like Pratt Whitney and Aetna eliminating jobs - what more will it take for Democrat leaders to realize that our state’s economic crisis is not going away?

Putting our head in the sand and gambling that the economy is going to improve significantly in the fourth quarter, is not only an unrealistic approach, but it lacks the leadership we need in the state legislature.

Enough is enough. Senator Williams and Representative Donovan need to convene a special session now to address our state’s growing economic problems, close our budget deficit, and preserve any chance of avoiding massive across the board tax increases.
