Work of Caucus Supported

Respected VCU Professor Robert Holsworth had this to say about the Cost Cutting Caucus today in a Washington Post online chat:

It is not so easy for cost-cutting to prevail when the Governor may be adding 15 billion dollars to the biennial budget.

But I hope that the cost-cutting caucus continues to be aggressive- it is critical for public trust in government that citizens believe their elected officials are spending taxpayer money wisely- and government, like any large organization, has to be carefully monitored, especially at a time when it is easy to spend and spend.
