Rep. Jackie Walorski calls for spending caps

Rep. Jackie Walorski is interviewed here by South Bend’s WSBT, highlighting the importance of a state spending cap. View the story as text here.

Rep. Walorski made her case in this video for state spending caps while Democrats complained that reducing government is a bad thing.

Walorski:

“One of the things I think, Samuel, is key is that we have a spending cap on the state level,” said Jackie Walorski, R-Lakeville. “I think whatever we impose at the local level of the governor’s bill we impose at the state [level] as well.”

Sen. Broden:

“There certainly is two sides to the equation,” said Sen. John Broden, D-South Bend. “And I certainly want to provide my constituents with meaningful property tax relief, but I also know my constituents expect safe streets and they know that comes from police officers and firefighters and they want streets that frankly don’t have potholes in them.”
