Balancing the state budget requires sacrifice AND common sense.<\/p>\n

When lawmakers cut health care for kids, the governor called it “shared sacrifice.”<\/p>\n

When they slashed aid to college students, and home care for seniors, he called it “shared sacrifice.”<\/p>\n

Now they propose taxes on Big Oil and Tobacco and he calls it a deal-breaker.<\/p>\n

His plan? Even MORE cuts for children, students, and seniors.<\/p>\n

Tell the Governor special interests should sacrifice, too.<\/p>\n

It’s common sense.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
