Ray proposes plan to boost economy and curb crime
Gov. Robert Ray outlines a seven point package to spark business, reduce crime, and aid the poor in a 13th Condition of the State message. He would trim red tape, fund $59 million in new spending, raise park and fee revenues, and seek a land use bill to protect farmland while avoiding sales tax or income tax hikes. He calls for tougher sentencing, seized drug profits, and a crime prevention fund, plus capital investments for Medicaid and education amid recession pressures.
