Governor Romney signs budget, but strips about $110 million

BOSTON –Gov. Mitt Romney signed the state’s $23.8 billion budget into law on Thursday, but vetoed about $110 million dollars in spending that he deemed ineffective or wasteful.

“Overall, the budget is fiscally responsible,” he said. “This is the third straight year that the Legislature and the administration have produced a budget that is on time and that is balanced.”

Just one of many reasons why I like this guy as our next President of the United States. Just imagine what he could do for our federal budget.

Ann Romney looks to faith-based grants

Meeting with a member of the Bush administration, religious and community leaders, and his wife, Gov. Mitt Romney announced Tuesday his office is ramping up efforts to capture federal grants for faith-based charities.
The Romney administration has been working to secure funds for faith-based as well as secular charities for about a year and half, but hasn’t captured as much as is possible, Romney said during a Beacon Hill roundtable discussion with group leaders. Forty-four religious groups from across the state received $21 million last year in federal funding from a total of $2 billion granted by Washington, said James Towey, White House director of faith-based initiatives.

He talked about his own business philosophies, and stressed the need for businesses to stay focused, and not make rash decisions in the face of economic challenge. He also shared a remarkable story of building the speed skating oval for the 2002 Olympics, a project with a $300 million price tag, and a $35 million budget.

Report: boost math and science training for teachers

Massachusetts teachers are ill-trained to teach rigorous science and math to students, whose lack of preparation for the high-tech world jeopardizes the state’s economy, according to a report released Wednesday.

Gov. Mitt Romney said he would propose education reform that would include the report’s recommendations.

“We believe that math and science (are) critical to the future of our kids and the future of our state and our nation,” Romney said.

Editorial Insert

Romney in this instance, and in other instances is very involved and interested in education issues. I think this will be one thing that really sets him a part, and will be a moderating influence after the George W Bush era.

Thank You

I just wanted to thank all of you for coming to the site. I have to say I’m a bit overwhelmed by the traffic (in a good way of course ;) ).

I did want to let you all know that this is just the start to this site. There are going to be many more things to come. The main site (www.electromneyin2008.com) should be up within about a week or so. There you will be able to see a little more of my creativity. I will also be adding an online store, where I will make an attempt at making my own t-shirts, mugs, bumper stickers, and the like. That should be interesting to say the least. Back a few months or so ago when I thought my candidate was going to be Jeb Bush I had this perfect logo in my mind that I was going to use, but, alas that’s not going to happen, so I must begin anew and come up with something unique and out of this world :)

Also, on the main page I will be offering through some sort of book store link (I haven’t decided which one I want to use yet) Mitt’s book about the Salt Lake Olympics Turnaround. You should all get yourself copies. :)

Anyway, thanks again for visiting. I look forward to getting to know all of you over the next 3+ years as we head down what C-Span calls “The Road to the White House”.

Warmly,

Ann Marie
