Budget Battles
If today’s budget hearing in the House Ways and means Committee is any indication, it’s going to be a somewhat testy legislative session.
Democrats chastised and at time raised their voices at Daniels administration officials over their proposed budget. Chairman Bill Crawford and OMB Director Ryan Kitchell got into a slight exchange. And Vice Chairman Scott Pelath and Budget Director Chris had somewhat of a verbal scuffle.
What did they argue over? The usual stuff; education, prison funding, economic development, accounting techniques, etc.
The best way I can describe this is like a family having money problems and they can’t decide whether to dip into their savings account.
The sad part is this is only going to get worse.
