Jack Markell made the following statement Monday in response to the latest estimates from the Delaware Economic and Financial Advisory Council: According to Markell “There are no 11th hour changes to the projections that will allow us to avoid making the very difficult decisions that need to be made over the next few weeks to balance the budget. In fact, without an unexpected one-time infusion, the $800 million shortfall for fiscal 2010 would have been greater. Dozens of tough decisions remain and we need a bi-partisan consensus to produce a balanced budget. I look forward to working with legislators from both parties to get our state’s fiscal house in order.” |
