Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr has released the following statement regarding Governor Patrick's unveiling of his Fiscal Year 2012 state budget proposal:"The true test of this budget will be how it meets the significant financial challenges facing the Commonwealth and whether the proposal truly achieves savings or merely shifts costs among the state's agencies and programs. We look forward to reviewing this document with an eye toward whether it achieves lasting reforms and accountability or moves us closer to sacrificing priorities and the potential for tax increases."
