THE STATE OF THE STATE’S BUDGET: HOW YOU MIGHT BE IMPACTED
It is no secret that the State is in the midst of a budget crisis, with an estimated $215 million shortage of funds. To make up for the shortfall, legislators have been working overtime to come up with ways to cut costs and find ways to infuse some much needed capital into the state’s coffers. Ideas like taxes on cigarettes and cuts to certain state departments have been discussed, and these changes could impact everyone, including you and I. One way we may all be affected is by higher tax rates, but less visible actions can also have an impact. For example, if state health agencies and human services departments cut back on staff, that means fewer people to help the same population. Stay tuned for more news on this ongoing story.
