Budget in 2011
As Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, Hill is in a unique position to give a candid view on the state's finances. On December 13, 2010, he warned that the state budget deficit for FY 2012 is nearing $2 billion, which is much worse than previously thought.[1] Even though the state's revenues increased for the sixth straight month in November 2010, Hill said it is not enough.[2] With the current state of the legislature, Hill said that he did not think that a pure tax increase would pass, but suggested something more like a broadening of the sales tax. A special tax council that has been studying the state's finances is due to release a report on possible solutions by January 10, 2011.
