Kohls: Slash state spending to 2004-2005 levels
GOP state Rep. Paul Kohls of Victoria announced today that he wants to cut spending to 2004-2005 spending levels or about $28 billion. Kohls, who is running for governor, said the state can fund education, public safety, infrastructure and other "nice to haves" but didn't reveal where the billions of dollars in cuts would come from. You can listen to his news conference here.
Question of the day: Do you listen to the audio files of the announcements/news conferences? Are they worth putting up or should we shelve it? I'm thinking about putting the audio up as the candidates hold announcements, etc. but I'd like your input to gauge whether this is a good use of time. Discuss...
