She also cut things she knows the feds are planning on providing some funding for, like health care. Medicaid for the states will need more federal dollars, for example.Mr Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552952081148985135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180836226665074114.post-57874186991406128922009-01-02T12:59:00.000-08:002009-01-02T12:59:00.000-08:00And your right about the state budgeting process. ...And your right about the state budgeting process.

I asked Eric Williams off line if Ross Hunter and his colleagues made any reference to the proposed federal stimulus plan that could offset budget shortfalls by creating jobs, but I doubt he'll respond to it. Also, he seems to reference that the city is going after the same revenue source as the UW which they clearly arent. And lastly the article has one response from Tacoma's version of "Will in Seattle", "Copernicus", or "The Apostle". He goes by the handle "Jeggo" and he's a bigger clown than any of them. Inarticulate and anti-everything diatribes from the south sound. Too bad T-town hasn't brought up renovating the T-dome. It would keep his pea-brain busy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
