Balanced budget with no income tax nor sales tax
Today I present to you a balanced budget--with no income or sales tax--that is fiscally responsible and focused on innovation, economic growth, and creating good jobs to support a strong middle class. A budget that begins rebuilding, based on the
priorities that are critical for an innovative future: ensuring that all of our people can receive an education and develop skills for good jobs, attracting and growing cutting-edge businesses, and sustaining our high quality of life by keeping our
communities and people safe and healthy.But it is also a budget that recognizes that we cannot address all of our challenges all at once in these uncertain economic times. We must still make difficult choices to protect our priorities while
living within our means.
In preparing this budget, we cut agency budget requests by more than $500 million, keeping general fund spending 7% below fiscal year 2008 for fiscal year 2014.
