Jack Cardetti Strikes Again
Jack Cardetti, a spokesman for the Democratic Party, said Blunt's budget cuts would hurt children, older adults and vulnerable people who lack lobbyists to protect their interests in the state capital.
"He's especially ravaged the Missouri Division of Youth Services, a national model for how to take care of juvenile offenders and then turn them into productive citizens," Cardetti said.
What's he talking about? My governor, Matt Blunt, has apparently
announced more cuts:
Gov. Matt Blunt has announced a second round of state budget cuts that will reduce state spending by $240 million and eliminate an additional 1,274 state jobs.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to say that Matt Blunt, boy wonder of Missouri, will be old enough to be president in 2008.
I don't want to gloat to my friends in
Illinois or
Wisconsin, but Ha! In your face! A Republican governor with a Republican legislature!
