Brian McClung: I'll tell you that governor Pawlenty will present to the legislature a complete budget proposal
that will resolve this one point two billion dollar deficit through budget reductions
so plain and simple I will do that and we hope the legislature will vote on and we
hope they'll pass it
Sen. Larry Pogemiller: He's been very clear that he intends to do it all from budget reductions
I think we're willing to uh start from that point but our expectation is that he will
then present us with the budget
that is honest
straightforward
and that implements those types of budget reductions that would be necessary
um
we expressed,I expressed,that I thought it would have to be a bipartisan solution
to make those kinds of significant budget cuts
but the first step is for the governor to have a genuine
honest
proposal presented to the legislature
and then come and speak to us about the seriousness of situation
we hope that he does that he uh
I believe that the historical nature of this
this budget crisis
um
requires
the leader of the state
to publicly come before the citizens and address it and honest
straightforward fashion I hope he would do that
