Governor pushes privatization to balance budget amid union standoff
The governor argues wage cuts and privatization are needed as Congress actions influence state finances. Union leader Marianne McMullen counters, calling the plan a press attack, while urging tax increases on estates and cigarettes and resisting contract reopening. Budget figures show a pay freeze could save about 101.2 million and avert 1,800 to 2,000 jobs, or 5,000 if no deal. Leaders insist the discord is political, not personal, as Vienna correctional center operations loom and talks continue.
