Senate Republican Budget Officer Declan O’Scanlon (R-13) issued a statement criticizing Democrats for their delayed release of "Budget Resolutions" intended to explain nearly $1 billion in state budget allocations.

“The Democrats squandered almost $1 billion of taxpayer money on pork projects in a deficit-laden budget. What they released is fantasyland transparency that fails to explain how taxpayer money will be spent, hides main advocates of special funding, and fails to disclose business relationships – all in violation of legislative rules. Buried in these nonexplanations will be the next French Arts Museum, tiki bar, lacrosse club, and artificial cricket field,” O’Scanlon stated.
