Mayors blast budget cuts, push for broad-based tax increases

Great article from the Boston Globe. 

Now more than ever is time for us to come together as a community to protect our public structures in the state. 

As Mayor John Barrett of North Adams said in the article: 

“When times are tough, we need leadership. Any fool can cut budgets.”

Lets take an active role as members of this community to have our voices heard in the Legislature.  We can not afford to cut services and programs that make us a competitite state compared to others.  A balanced budget should always look at both revenues and expenditures.  Lets support more revenues for our state as part of an adequate and balanced tax package.
