LET ALLEN CUT

The governor of our great commonwealth has proposed to do what we ``overwhelmingly'' elected him to do, among other things - cut the size of government.

The whining and bellyaching from the liberals, Democrats and everybody else with their hand out make me sick. As always, they distort things to such a ludicrous degree that the average tax-paying citizen has been mislead.

The proposed budget cuts amount to less than a 3 percent reduction in state spending, not a total dismantling of our state, as we are being led to believe.

Let's get off the governor's back and let him do the job we elected him to do. And while we are cutting, let's tell the media and the liberals to cut this bias crap they are dishing out. It's distorted, it's unfair and it is just not right.
