Cuts Into Backlog
“And now we are cutting into the financial backlog we built up,” he said. “And why not?” The Governor said it was a “comfortable feeling” to be able to have enough money to meet the needs of the state but that he was aware the financial backlog “will {not last forever.” “But, now—while -we have it,”
