The state can’t make up for all of the federal government spending cuts that are occurring, according to Massachusetts Senate President Karen Spilka, who also said she’s not looking to raise taxes as part of any response.
“I’m not talking about new taxes right now. I am trying to figure out — working with my partners in government, my partners in the state — how to protect Massachusetts,” Senate President Karen Spilka said during an interview on WBZ’s “Keller @ Large” that aired Sunday. “We have a good rainy day fund,” she said, adding, “We’re not going to have enough to cover everything.”
Senate President Karen Spilka joins Jon Keller to discuss the impacts of the Trump Administration, her opposition to tax increases, and the Senate’s action on data privacy legislation.
