Legislative Democrats Continue To Criticize – While Offering No Alternative

House Democrats have come out strong in their criticism of Governor Matt Blunt over budget cuts and other parts of the Administration’s agenda. They have hesitated, however, to outline an alternative agenda. The top Democrat in the House, Representative Jeff Harris of Columbia, says he hasn’t seen a comprehensive vision from Governor Blunt. When asked by reporters what alternatives Democrats would offer to Blunt’s proposed social service cuts, Harris hesitates to offer an alternative, preferring to reiterate his criticism of Blunt.
