House Republicans
unveiled their 2011-12
budget proposal last week
and are working to enact a
fiscally responsible,
on-time budget with no
new taxes and no new
borrowing. The state
budget has increased by
approximately $8 billion
over the last eight years,
which is nearly twice the
rate of inflation. Unfortu-

husband, Theodore Albanese (absent from the photo). and we cannot continue the
trend of spending money
we don’t have and we in
the General Assembly need
to spend the money
taxpayers give us in a more
efficient manner.
We are proposing to shift
budget priorities to
education over welfare by
cutting wasteful spending
and dropping ineffective
programs within the
Department of Public
Welfare (DPW). Over the
past few years, Auditor
General Jack Wagner has
identified several areas that
were deemed to be rampant
with fraud and abuse that
totaled hundreds of
millions of dollars.
We are facing serious
financial challenges in the
state budget, but I believe
we can safely add back
$250 million for basic
education and another
$380 million to higher
education by shifting
those funds from DPW
identified as fraud and
abuse.
As long as I see serious
budget commitments to
cut welfare fraud and
make state government
less wasteful, I believe we
can adjust budget dollars
appropriately from one
department to another.
