DEL.ICIO.USCagle lays down the law
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle told the Senate he prayed for himself and for the Senate.
He mentioned the $2 billion deficit the state faces — “the most since the Great Depression,” Cagle said.
If the Senate has to make a choice between raising more revenue or downsizing state government, “make no mistake,” Cagle said. “I’ll come down on the side of downsizing state government,” Cagle said.
“There are many things in that state budget that are ‘wants’ and not ‘have tos’,” he said.
