Taxes and spending are two sides of the same coin. Republicans were quick to do the easy part and cut taxes, but have shown zero willingness to make tough choices on spending.
Ignoring one undermines the other – this backroom budget deal is an affront to the American people.

Item1. In first 2 years of @GovRaimondo term seemed to make progress dealing with fiscal challenges, since then RI finances taken turn for worst and seem to in a fiscal free-fall. Why back to the future fiscal stress in good economic times? https://t.co/mwYqi5YPOg via @wpri12

if @narrabay has an extra 8 million to give citizens bank for free sewers and another 5 million to scoop for @GovRaimondo why are my sewer and water bills so expensive and if the transportation dept @ridotnews has extra money why are we borrowing billions

Nice to see a great Rhode Island company do the right thing as a result of GOP tax reform on the same day Assembly progressives hold press conference on legislative package that would encourage business to leave state. Stark contrast. https://t.co/zoyqGAjF1S

. @GovRaimondo is once again taking $ from the landfill to fill the holes from her spending. That translates into higher tipping fees for towns , higher property taxes. @projo #Neednewmanagement

Calabro's comments were revealing – a translation of what she said is; "We won't raise the safety issues that thousands of children are exposed to, but we WILL use safety issues to get a raise."

The state is running on fumes. This has been hilighted by the budgets from the past 2 years. Relying on “scoops”, unrealistic and unfulfilled cuts in spending, and phantom sources of income. It’s time for wholesale change in the way we do things around here.

HT @danmcgowan Appears @GovRaimondo has done an end-run around state Democratic Party, controlled by @RISpeaker Mattiello, to control more campaign$. Anyone think this will end well? https://t.co/TCuktiXVCh

The Governor has been on a hiring spree! And one with a lot of 6 figure adds! It is costing us $10 of millions more and she's not done. Requesting over 250 new FTEs in this year's budget. Her answer to unemployment statistics? Not good for taxpayers. @RICenterFreedom https://t.co/1C9WTlEic7
