Budget Battle, Part I

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels says the budget will be more than $1 billion short based on new actual budget numbers.  Daniels told reporters the state took in $255 million less than projected.  He did not specify which budget cuts to make, but said he still wanted to give lawmakers flexibility to address the shortfall.  Democrats question the shortfall, saying there are still outstanding taxes that need to be collected and that could reduce the shortfall.   You can hear the Governor’s comments below.
