Lujan: Time to Get Serious About the Budget

House Minority Leader David Lujan (D-Phoenix) issued strong words about the budget crisis and where he feels the focus should be.

"I believe that we need to invest in education and invest in those programs that are going to make our state stronger. We have to look at the revenue side of things. We can't just cut our way to a solution."


Lujan also pulls no punches with the Republican leadership's proposed budget which cuts over $3.0 billion from schools and other programs.

"I think if they had the votes to pass, we would already have seen them come up for a vote on the floor. It's time we stop playing games and get serious about negotiating a budget."

30 Days. It might be time to get serious.
