Senate Democrats Launch Budget Map of Connecticut
Senate President Donald E. Williams, Jr. (D-Brooklyn) says map can help residents determine how budget cuts would affect their community
As part of the Senate Democrats’ push for a fair budget with real cuts and smart investments, a new budget map is being launched today from the Senate Democrats’ Web site. The interactive Google map of Connecticut highlights Gov. Rell’s proposed budget cuts and how they would affect every town and city across the state.
“We need to make cuts, as Democrats already have, but we must also make investments in health care, education, public safety, transportation, and other critical needs for our families,” said Senator Williams. “We are committed to using a balanced approach to balance the budget and we will continue to work with legislative colleague and Gov. Rell to reach a budget agreement.”
Democrats in the legislature have proposed more than $2 billion of spending cuts. Governor Rell is also proposing significant cuts — but a large proportion of these will directly impact children, small businesses, education and public health.
The budget map of Connecticut will continue to be updated as additional cuts are identified.
