2008 MonCo State of the County Address breakdown
2008 April 22
Public: “Hey Maggie, how are you going to fix that $29 million budget gap?”
Maggie: “I don’t know, what ya got?”
Brooks is still holding fast to the prospect of her FAIR plan being ruled legal on its appeal before the NYS Supreme Court.
Frankly, the fact that Brooks offered no so-called ‘Plan B’ should surprise no one as the current administration has not been big on contingency plans.
Brilliant move by Maggie. Now, she can blame the usual Democrats for the budget problems, even though they have not been in power, and she can also blame the public here in Monroe County for not having good enough suggestions to find $29 million.
It’s the political equivalent of pouting because you don’t get your way: “Fine, I’m taking my ball and going home. You guys figure out what game to play.”
