Terry McAuliffe: First Year in Office and already a Budget Shortfall in the Billions. WTF?
McAuliffe announces budget cuts, layoffs to address revenue shortfall
RICHMOND — Gov. Terry McAuliffe unveiled a raft of cost-cutting measures Wednesday, including up to 565 layoffs, in response to a projected budget shortfall that he blamed mostly on reduced federal spending.
The steps are intended to partially address a previously announced multi-year deficit of $2.4 billion. In a news conference, McAuliffe (D) called the budget cuts “the most difficult part of my job so far” and said the situation could grow more dire.
In addition to job losses concentrated in the state prison system, the state will mark up the price of liquor, sell an old state police airplane and wait longer than usual to fill some jobs. Those actions will take effect immediately.
This is the same idiot who wants to
expand budget outlays in the form of more Medicaid for the Free Shit Army. Do Democrats even stop to think once in a while?
