Two weeks ago I, and some of my fellow House GOP colleagues, signed and delivered a letter to Governor Pawlenty regarding his cuts to community based services.

The Governor's supplemental budget was based on a deficit of $1.2 billion. The actual budget deficit came in at $994 million. This was $209 million less than forecasted. His budget included a cut of 2.5% to home and community based services - a total of $37.3 million. We feel at least part of the $209 million under-forecasted money should go to buy back this cut.

Please take some time to read this letter and share your thoughts with me
