Tim Cahill

Tutu we had now. We're just gonna key moment right along here folks we've got one candidate after another joining us now on the line. It is us oh no we don't haven't I thought we had a okay no I guess we don't have a 18 says is the the governor today unveiled his budget. And it's. -- it's up 3%. They and ended the this year which you work at a private businesses your budget up 3% I didn't think so joining us now on the line is the state treasurer receiver general Tim Cahill. Tell -- know why you -- my last week's a victory by Scott Brown it's kind of a it proves that people who were incumbents are near incumbents can be ousted. Even here the lowest of states. What's your reaction to the budget that was introduced by Governor Deval Patrick that I.

Let's kind of similar action radar jamming and I'm sure other people having this we're gonna try this billion dollars spent. What we -- which -- ever gonna come revenue gonna come from. And this is absolutely aren't trying to be spending more I mean this is a Ricci abroad to the beach where we just. Hoping that money comes in India and pray that we can spend it before it even -- I'm disappointed that I would be. A budget that spoke to people are big spoke to the economy and it just just same old same all.

Yet to hundred million in new taxes he's expanding the tax on tobacco they're counting on one point nine billion -- one time revenues I guess that means quote unquote stimulus funds and also we are draining the rainy day fund even further. I'm and I heard that he said he claimed today the governor. And his press conference that he cut 2000 jobs -- go to I was on a website Tim KL. You can you see that as as of June 2007 again his own numbers he had 66483. People on the state payroll. And projected for fiscal years. 2011667020. That's -- cut that's an increase.

That's saying hey I was I was reading the pressure placed there are we that they put out and it was like reading Ellison won the last. The Dow was up and up was down and and I don't think I'm really surprised I mean maybe I shouldn't be it -- very obviously a political budget. I'm gonna put pressure -- the legislature because you're not not cutting. It's if you teach shape into whatever it sort of lays that bare bones out and then -- Not addict Becky and -- eight put up pretty high he'd make commitments to our cities and towns that he won't cut local aid. You won't cut education spending and how. It's gonna get the money.

I was gonna mention that -- create that -- me if I'm wrong in the state of the state he said at that he's not going to cut local way. This year yet this budget includes. -- called to give him more nine C powers which basically allows him to unilaterally cut local aid so I so in other words. You don't. Don't worry about what I said the state of the state the reality is I think I may have to cut local -- so can you give me the power to cut it without having to go to you guys first.

Yeah I think it's still the decision towns are. -- like I can understand that the best promises. Promises made -- not to promise is kept. And I -- again the numbers don't lie. I am in I don't know where anyone is coming up put 3% growth because analysts say got a magic guilty to create. 410000. New jobs I don't know where the money's gonna come from and it's again it's disappointing that it seems like the president has gotten the -- we'll -- later tonight. That this is about the middle class and this is about the.

Do you -- play that he's gotta claim he's -- it. Well look he sort of -- Soros said he well yeah but yeah you're right he didn't really get -- did you really got to listen I have to ask you something we'll take a caller to for Tim -- if you want but I wanna ask about powerball to I am I I really really happy what is taken what took so -- to get powerball.

Well we -- the first time we went short we got voted down by the small states and it was mostly driven by our competitors around New England -- outlet. I didn't wanna work with pretty well we're very strong when it comes -- the lottery so lot of tickets. And they didn't want New Hampshire Rhode Island and Connecticut didn't want the competition. Cheshire Connecticut. So while we -- they voted it down the first time throw. And that we went back in which all the mountain idea we use our leverage we also negotiated and talk to these guys you understate the lottery commission. And the staff at the writing a great job. -- that I have convincing them that it was in the best interest. Trust they have powerball and that way they -- have mega millions. And down we've finally got he broke. About by the six months ago and it's taken that's sometimes support to get the systems -- so we can actually start shelling on Sunday the 31 of January.

What's got to -- new we have enough reasons to go to New Hampshire without. -- powerball and as you see I'm sure you saw the that the figures -- meals was talking about him earlier New Hampshire was way up for the month of December when we were there when we were basically flat. Or anything going down which is only be expected when you raise the sales tax 25% let's take a caller to pretend -- don't have much time but we at times that they wanted to. That's a year next with Howie -- and Tim -- go ahead Betsy.

I care -- I I I -- up making phone calls for Scott Brown and I've written here and I'm very excited about your tendency. They -- thank you very much here I'm I want I you know you and Scott each -- you know -- only a week -- golf. Child dead -- and then now I think Scott's. -- any news. Personae is interracial really woke up people in this state especially independents. Out of Coke and I didn't sort of focused garden and sort of trying to. I can't pay insurance speak chilling out in the -- but I can do active job did he get right I think it would be very successful. Come November and I think we're gonna change staying here in Massachusetts -- are excited to pick you for the support. Requested someone even if you're about the hall. Any and the idea. Well I don't like to audition we like to take him down at least in the western part of the state when we compare acted yet so I'm not sure given the budget. Croatia so we're facing right Allen and who knows what we're gonna have a lot to spend. -- kind of money we're gonna have left I'm saw an article promised that I keep cheap but will do everything we can. Over the next oriented from elected governor are not there long enough to up at least pay down the debt of the western turnpike the western -- and get those down. I -- so we make a dent in that Big Dig -- I don't think we can take them down I'm going into Boston.
