2010 Budget Commentary
Included in this years budget bills were many conflicting policy
issues that impact East Valley businesses. Support for one policy
and opposit
to another issue in the same budget bill made grading difficult.
While the EVCCA communicated its positions on policy issues to
lawmakers,
because of the aforementioned conflict, legislators were not
graded on the budget bills.
