At a time when families are struggling to pay bills and keep their jobs, the Governor is proposing to add to their burden by raising taxes and increasing government spending ($4.5 billion) to record levels. The nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau released a memo this week that detailed all of the fee and tax increases in the budget. The tax and fee increases are roughly $1.5 billion and $240 million respectively. These increases do not include $1.2 billion in tax increases that were in the budget repair bill proposed and passed by the Democrats in just 48 hours last month.
