Jauch Says Republicans Don't Understand Own Budget

Responding to Rep. Fitzgerald's statement that the Assembly GOP budget doesn't raise taxes, Sen. Jauch said to say that shows the Republicans "a misunderstanding or complete ignorance of your own budget."

He said the Assembly budget includes a $90 million reduction in Homestead Tax eligibility for families earning under $24,000 per year.

"Your priority was to provide a tax break for people who sell gold bullion while at the same time sticking it 81,000 of the most vulnerable (state residents)," Jauch said.

He said the Republican proposal "just simply doesn't add up" and "lacks a moral compass."
