Charisse Millet claimed the other day that her constituents object to a cut in their dividend in "order to fund government" Well Government has been cut--cut to the point of creating a recession from a lack of spending in the capital budget and sharp lay-offs in the operating budget. What HASN'T been cut is the corporate welfare we are paying for;Oil Tax Credits constitute the 3rd largest budget item behind education and HESS. Charisse believes in corporate welfare; she supports $150 Million for Agrium Corporation ($15 M/year X 10 years) which her Boss, the Speaker, sponsored. And Hillcorp Corporation gave $100,000 Christmas Bonuses last year while we still provided them with millions and millions of dollars in tax credits in 2015. It is disingenuous for Charisse to pretend to champion the dividend; it is her majority's leadership that brought us to this point. The lawsuit blames the Legislative Majority and the Governor equally for this failure.
