Governor wants to make $500-million in cuts
$500-million in cuts.
The reductions will come by cutting about 3,000 jobs, eliminating two state agencies including the agriculture department, and from other cuts in all state departments.
It’s a bold move considering massive cuts are usually not the solution embraced by most politicians.
The preferred remedies normally involve tax cuts or putting government on the credit card by borrowing.
Conservative TV talk show host Glenn Beck has noticed, and he’s impressed.
Beck praised the Democrat governor, saying, “You have received so much heat, I really do admire you … for taking the tough road here.”
The governor said, “"As a Democrat it made me worry that we might be losing the general consensus to support the role of government in a lot of things that I believe we should be working to provide … taking care of the uninsured, educating our kids."

That has to be done when your state is billions of dollars in the hole.
