Legislative/Judiciary Budget Bill --
Goodell: I can't.
And I like that so much better earlier. I'm going to
explain my vote and then. First, if I may, the party
vote, the Republican caucus, in the negative. And we
are checking to see if anyone would like to vote in the
affirmative. Now, to explain my vote. This is a very
simple budget, the simplest we've had. It has a 2
percent increase and normally a 2 percent increase would be
well within reason and that 2 percent is designed to provide
salary increases for our staff, not for us. We're not
getting any increase. But, under the
circumstances, I think it is appropriate for us to lead by
example. And I'm hesitant to vote for an increase for the
legislative budget of 2 percent, when we're holding all our
schools for flat funding and they may be facing up to half a
billion in cuts and and we're talking about contingency cuts
that are just going to nail organizations and great
operations all across the state. And so, I'm just not
comfortable taking a raise, in our budget when we're asking
everyone else to tighten their belts and tak cuts.
That explains my vote. I'm going to ask if I'm
ready to see if any of my Republican colleagues disagree in
which case they should just come over and contact us right
away.
Mr. Barron on the Democratic side is a
no vote.
