Barbour to Announce Budget Recommendations
File Photo
Gov. Barbour will announced his budget recommendations today.
November 16, 2009
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour will provide the state with his recommendations for the budget today. With revenues lagging behind estimates for the last year, politicians and pundits expect the announced cuts to be deep and wide.
On Barbour's table are cuts to already lean agency budgets, public school district and state university consolidations, furloughs and layoffs. Experts do not expect Barbour to raise taxes to increase the state's revenue, however he will likely ask the Legislature to increase his power to make cuts without their approval.

People are worried about 2012, hell you need to be worried about November 16, 20009! lol!!!!
But, and I hate to rub it in, but I have been screaming to you guys for the longest, revenues, revenues, revenues.
I am all down for working a 4 day work week!!!! A furlough would be kind of tight, that $250 a week from unemployment would barely pay any bills in my household.
I am waiting to see who he thinks should get the ax though.
