Arkansas Republicans Budgeting The Vogue Democrats Accept Done

Arkansas a High Tax & Spending State!
Flusing Money Away yesteryear Spending Money
Just Because It spent It In The Past! 

by Conduit for Action: High Spending & Lack of Accountability - Arkansas’ budget procedure is designed for growth inward regime spending which makes Arkansas a high taxation soil as well as a high spending state. The procedure fails to eliminate or trim down the to the lowest degree effective, to the lowest degree needed, as well as most wasteful soil regime programs.

For decades the Democrats controlled Arkansas soil government. Their thought of command was to grow government, pass more, as well as never await back.

Every 2 years the legislature passes roughly taxation relief legislation as well as brags close it, but nosotros volition rest a high taxation soil as well as a high spending soil every bit long every bit the soil spends coin only because it spent it inward the past.

Here is the fatal flaw inward the Democrats’ Arkansas budget computer program (which the Republicans inherited). The starting house for the adjacent year’s budget begins amongst them determining how much coin the means got inward the previous year, as well as and then asks 2 questions:

1. What per centum budget increment should ALL agencies teach for the adjacent year?
2. Should the means teach extra coin inward add-on to the across the board increase?

The computer program doesn’t ask:

1. Do nosotros demand this specific computer program anymore?
2. Is the computer program coming together its goals?
3. Is at that spot a ameliorate way?
4. Is the means wasting coin as well as needs to tighten its belt, hence it volition non pass coin unwisely?

Enter the Republicans
In 2013 the Republican Party became bulk political party inward the legislature, but at that spot was a rigid Democrat Governor. When the novel Republicans were sworn in, many of the budget decisions had already been made as well as the budget procedure didn’t change.

Since 2015 Republicans accept had a large bulk inward the legislature as well as the soil has a Republican Governor. Still the same organisation of budgeting continues unchanged from Democrat days.

Despite the Republican principles of limited regime as well as lower taxes, the Republicans accept continued the Democrats’ organisation of budgeting. The Republicans accept tried to concur downwardly the across the board increment for agencies, but this yet rewards bad wasteful programs because no evaluation is done as well as the work is non addressed.

Some Republicans crusade on running Arkansas regime similar a business, but do you lot know of whatever concern that blindly increases what it spends on every sectionalization of its operation? No, a successful concern volition evaluate what it needs to pass on each sectionalization as well as create upward one's hear where changes inward performance are needed. This is what must hold upward done inward soil government. Just because it is taxpayer money, non your ain money, is no argue to allow millions hold upward flushed downwardly the toilet.

It Has Always Been Done That Way
Republicans accept fallen into the trap of doing bad budgeting because – that’s the way it has ever been done.

Budget hearings volition offset inward Oct as well as it volition hold upward the same ole Democrat budget procedure because no means evaluations accept been done.

Rocking The Boat Is Bad For Reelection
In whatever event, many politicians are unlikely to accept the tummy for existent budget evaluations. Much of soil spending is supported yesteryear particular interests, lobbyists, as well as regime contractors, whose back upward is necessary to teach reelected. It is easier to practice what is expedient instead of what is right.

Another Fine Mess You Got Us Into
What is the outcome of Arkansas failing to practice performance-based budgeting as well as toll accounting?

• Arkansas is ranked every bit a high taxation state.
• Arkansans pay to a greater extent than per someone for soil regime than people inward most other states.
• All this despite Arkansas existence a pitiful state.

High taxation state
Arkansas ranked every bit a high taxation soil inward the 2018 State Business Tax Climate Index yesteryear the Tax Foundation.

Taxpayers inward all 6 surrounding states pay less per person. The study is based on the 2014 financial twelvemonth as well as appears inward Facts & Figures 2017: How Does Your State Compare?

Below is Arkansas’ high taxation compared to the surrounding states.

Low income state
According to the Census Bureau solely West Virginia as well as Mississippi accept a lower median menage income than Arkansas.

Will your State Representative as well as State Senator stand upward up for taxpayers?

• The Arkansas legislature needs to hold upward ameliorate stewards amongst your taxation money.
• We demand performance-based budgeting as well as activities based toll accounting!
• The legislature needs to define the mission of every soil means as well as every soil computer program as well as hold upward able to define when it is hitting the score as well as when it is not.
