Senator Valde Garcia addressed the board: Garcia - The budget for the next fiscal year has passed without an increase in taxes. It does preserve revenue sharing and may even allow for a slight increase. A proposal by the governor will take one billion dollars and allow investment in the private sector - to stimulate economic activity and growth. It is also our goal to diversify job growth within the state so that we no longer rely solely on the automotive industry for our economy. We plan to sell tobacco settlement dollars and issue bonds for economic diversification.
