Another excuse to criticize AZ!

I don't care how much you support the 1070 bill or what side you're on, this is just pitiful.

I wonder why republicans think that cutting budgets is the key to salvation?

The local roads are showing signs of the last budget cut around here... Also the schools. THANKS

I feel bad when people choke. If you can't remember a one minute speech, you shouldn't be in charge of saving a state.

Why don't you pull some out of your a** and give it to the schools and road dpt? The money has to come from somewhere.

Yeah WTF? I just voted for her. I wonder if there's an explanation? Hmmmm.

Whenever I think of AZ, for some reason I think Greg is the governor.

There is plenty of money. The problem is the inefficiencies in the bureaucratic system that we currently have throughout the entire country! For only a very small portion of the inefficiencies look up the $435 Hammer and the Gould billing system...

True, but it does not matter.

There is not "plenty of money", that extra money is busy being wasted.
Unless you have a a plan to overthrow the government and restructure the entire financial system of our country...

Yes, there would be a lot more money to go around, the government (especially their contractors) spend inefficiently as hell... but the fact is that that is just not going to change, and trying to argue that there is "plenty of money" is stupid, childish and a pointless exercise in blind optimism.

FIX NOTHING

THROW MORE MONEY AT EVERYTHING

PROFIT?

The leeches only do obvious things like these to keep people like you voting for tax and/or spending hikes. You see broken roads & of course you approve more spending, when in reality the problem is the money getting siphoned off much higher in the chain. While your city cut road improvements, it probably gave raises or kickbacks to it's elected leeches. Therein lies the problem.

Spending less doesn't mean cutting a few thousand for asphalt - it means cutting TRILLIONS for black holes like "tarp".

I understand from reading this thread that it is considered "childish" for me to expect re-organization of funds. Yes?

Gee, that is disheartening that you would just accept that this is the way things are. I guess it's too much to expect accountability in the system?

HEY JUST GROW UP OKAY

To respond to the OP, this was the hardest thing I have ever had to watch in my life. It's just embarrassing. She was completely unprepared and it wasn't even a big event. After the primary, she was WAY ahead of Terry Goddard in the poles. I wonder what this is gonna do to her credibility? Even though I voted for her, I'm gonna start doing some serious research before the November election.

Check out this parody one of the local radio hosts did of her.....

There's NOT "plenty of money".

As a state employee, we're on 12 mandatory unpaid furlough days this year. Hiring freezes mean that we're all doing twice as much (our agency is a 2400-job agency, we've got 1650 employees right now).

The "crunch" hit everyone, and those who think there's a simple solution are morons.

With that said, that was painful to watch. I've never frozen up so bad that I couldn't BS my way through to a logical ending point. Part of me feels bad for her, since a person's speaking ability isn't necessarily an indicator of how good a Governor they are. HOWEVER, it's a bit disconcerting regardless.

[Jesda]

Here's how the game is played:

Overspend and expand government when times are good, then when it gets tough:
Cut healthcare
Cut schools
Cut roads
Cut government workers
Then tell everyone "oh yeah we're broke lol, we need more money, elect me or your chillin gonna starve"

[Dattebayo]

Gotta love America now huh.
