Hayden outlines 4.13 billion budget with tax cuts
Gov. Mike Hayden used his State-of-the-State address to unveil a 4.13 billion budget balanced by 85 million from a windfall. He proposed cutting individual taxes by 21 million, a 16 million annual break for manufacturers, and higher education funding, while opposition critics argued funds are spread too thin and highway spending is lacking. The speech drew applause for reserves growth and a landmark tax cut, but Democrats questioned education and highway priorities as the session opened.
