Budget Details Explained Bravo to HMS’s

Neal Kurk talked to a standing-room-only audience.


by Lynne Ober
It was standing-room-only at Hudson Hills House on Saturday morning as
State Representative Neal Kurk explained the current state of the Governor’s
budget, which passed the House on a party line vote. Many people wanted
to hear about the details and ask about the new taxes.
Kurk, who has served for years on the House Finance Committee, gave
an informative and interesting talk on the current state of the budget. He
explained that the budget is much higher than two years ago, but still
leaves a number of areas without funding. One of those areas is school
construction aid, which the Governor wanted to bond, but the Public Works
Committee said “No, put it back in the budget where it has been for years.”
Kurk also talked about the deletion of the state aid to towns and what

makes sense to know how much you’re spending before you decide how
much money to raise, …” and then commented that the biggest difference
between the democratic and republican approach to the budget this year
was found in that statement. “Republicans thought we should figure out
how much money we had and then do a budget to spend that money, and
the democrats thought we should decide how much to spend and then
raise taxes.”
Kurk talked about the Republican version of the budget, which decreased
spending by 1.6 percent, and raised no new taxes.
“We thought that with the recession we should not be placing more tax
burden on our residents. Yes, the budget cuts would have hurt, and the
state, like other employers, would have had to decrease its workforce, but
how many more taxes can we each afford?”
Kurk answered audience questions. Refreshments were served.

Conserving water has become “the name of the game.” Builders install high-efficiency showerheads, ����������������

Currently, leaks account for 13.7 percent �of������
