control spending
Looking Around the next Corner!! Take steps now ......
Three, no four different newspapers in the ONE Mass News Roundup are publishing the same story covered by the AP in today's Herald.
Quoting Secretary Kirwan's memo to departments in the Executive Branch
“In the interest of prudence and sound fiscal management, Governor Patrick has asked us to take steps now to closely monitor and control spending and also to prepare for a possible downturn in revenues given the larger economic context nationally,” Kirwan wrote.
Questions for you dear reader. What is around the next corner? Clearly this looks like the Governor is laying the groundwork for some 9-C cuts. (Below the fold is the law on 9-C we got from Secretary Kirwan's website.)
Sounds like the "hard choices" faced by towns and cities every spring under 2 1/2 . Cut if you can't raise revenues.
