TO HAVE, SEE YOU PRESIDENT BRUCE BENSON SAYS SUCH

10/28/2009 Good Day Colorado - KDVR-TV I'M SURE A LOT OF PEOPLE AGREE WITH THAT. COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THE LATEST ROUND OF CUTS THAT ARE BEING SET TO REBALANCE THE STATE BUDGET. WE'LL GIVE YOU THE DETAILS AFTER A LOT OF SNOT OUT THAT THAT IS THE STORY OF THE DAY AND BE CAREFUL OF THE ROAD, THERE IS A LOT OF SCHOOL CLOSURES OUT THERE. THE DOOR WHAT SAID, ALSO ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE THEM THERE. AS AND AS YOUR PICTURES TO. STATE WORKERS OF PARTY TAKEN FOR FURLOUGH DAYS, NOW THEY'RE FACING EVEN MORE. THAT IS PART OF THE LATEST TO BALANCE THE STATE BADGES OF REVENUES CONTINUE TO FALL. ELI STRUGGLES NOW WITH MORE. THE IMPACT OF FOR NO FURLOUGH DAYS GOES WELL BEYOND THE 15,000 STATE WORKERS, NOW FACING ANOTHER FOUR DAYS WITHOUT PAY. WHEN THEY'RE NOT WORKING ON THE SERVICES AREN'T BEEN PROVIDED. FOR WAS SAVING THE STATE 20 ARE JUST PART OF THE PLAN TO CUT ANOTHER $270 BILLION FROM THE BUDGET. THESE NUMBERS ARE SO BIG THEY SEEM SO ENORMOUS THAT DOESN'T CONNECT THROW PEOPLE'S LIVES, BUT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS YOU PAY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER AND YOU'RE EITHER GOING TO PAY IN HIGHER FEES FOR SCHOOLS OR HIGHER TUITION OR NOT HAVING HEALTH CARE SERVICES. CUTS COULD COME AT TO 100 MILLION FOR THE YEAR FOR SEE YOU, THAT IS HALF OF THE TUNE IN AND THEY GOT LAST YEAR. THE THING I'M WORRIED ABOUT IS WE ARE STARTING TO GET SOME THINGS AND THAT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CUT. BETTER ADVISING AND MORE CLASS AVAILABILITY THESE ARE JUST THINGS THAT YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE, SEE YOU PRESIDENT BRUCE BENSON SAYS SUCH CUTS WILL LIKELY MEAN HIGHER TUITION, IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT STATE WORKERS COULD BE LAID OFF. THEY JUST HAVE TO BE LAYOFFS IS THE UNFORTUNATE REALITY GOVERNMENT HAS GROWN PRETTY EXPANSIVELY AND IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, THOUSANDS IN A STATE EMPLOYES HIRED. THE WORD IF WORK ON ROADS AND SCHOOLS AND OTHER CRITICAL SERVICES ARE NEEDED, THEM THAT MOST RESIDENTS WANT GOVERNMENT CUT. WHERE YOU LAY OFF EMPLOYEES FOR THERE'S NOT A DIRECT SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC. DEMOCRATS SAY IT'S ALREADY BEEN CUT TO THE BONE.
