STATEMENT RELEASED ON BUDGET AND TAXATION AGREEMENT

The General Assembly has come to a budget agreement, but not everybody is “on board” with it. District 1-B Delegate and House Minority Leader Jason Buckel says Democrats “have provided no solution to the long-term budget issues that have been facing outstate since the passage of the Blueprint.” Buckel added that it is “abundantly obvious that the definition of ‘Democratic Values’  is to tax-and-spend-then-tax-again policy.” Buckel adds that even worse, “Democrats are pushing through taxes that will only serve to damage our economy.”
