Whether you agree with federal funding cuts or not, one thing is clear—Delaware lawmakers had a chance to protect your money with responsible budgeting and fiscal safeguards.
A strong financial foundation helps us weather federal or state funding cuts, economic downturns, and unexpected crises. But instead of planning for the future, lawmakers have increased spending by over 30% in the last four years while revenue has only increased by 18%. That’s not sustainable for any government, business, or family!
Now, as the consequences of reckless spending unfold, lawmakers will try to shift the blame while pushing higher taxes, increased fees, and raiding reserve funds—all to cover spending they couldn’t afford in the first place.
Let’s be clear: Delaware’s leaders made their bed years ago by outspending what taxpayers provided. That’s why the new Governor’s budget raises personal income taxes, hikes DelDOT fees, and drains our reserve funds for short-term initiatives that will run out of money in two years.
It’s time for fiscal responsibility before it’s too late! #Delaware#TaxpayerAccountability#FiscalResponsibility
