How Embarrasing for Republicans

http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/111-12092008-1634761.html

A couple of things that should embarass Republicans in Bucks.

1. With a $465.6 million spending plan, they can't find $7.1 million in cuts? That would be a 1.52% reduction in spending. Cawley does seem to indicate that taxes shouldn't be raised, but come on I thought we elected a Republican majority here.

2. The county as a $71.3 million rainy day fund, or 15.3% of the yearly budget. I feel a bit over-taxed.

3. I know Marseglia is a political grand-stander, but Republicans look foolish fighting her ideas to cut spending.

For a minute I thought Marseglia was an in-the-minority Republican.
