Senator Koering says Cut the Personal Attendant Care Program

State Senator Paul Koering says the $4.6 billion hole in the state budget should be closed through cuts, and not raising taxes of any kind. He tells KLKS News, the Personal Attendant Care Program should be cut. He says it is filled with fraud, and cutting it would save up to $300-million.
Koering says Minnesotans cannot bear the burden of any additional taxes of any kind. He asks the question, if the Democrats raise $2-billion this year, what are they going to raise next year.
The Fort Ripley Republican predicts Governor Tim Pawlenty will hold the line.
