During the discussion at Elliott Aviation in Milan, Vaught emphasized that these two fast-growing areas of state spending are on unsustainable paths, jeopardizing their existence, those who depend on them, and the states ability to fund core services like education and public safety. Inaction on these two critical issues creates an uncertainty for businesses assessing their long-term future and suppresses economic growth. | | | Date Created: | 05 09 2012 | | | Agency ID: | 509**12 | | | ISL ID: | 000000043521 Original UID: 23042 FIRST WORD: State | |
