Issue Position: Budget

Issue Position

The 2012--13 budget was a balance of spending restraint and structural government reform, rejecting a 27% autopilot spending increase, and without raising taxes -- principles that Senator Ingebrigtsen holds closely. Within a year and a half, a $5 billion budget deficit had been turned into a $1.2 billion deficit, which was used in accordance with current law to replenish the state's budget reserve and start paying back the school shifts.
