Statement by Rep. Ed Orcutt
on September 2005 economic forecast
Rep. Ed Orcutt,
R-Kalama, member of the Economic and Revenue Forecast Council and
ranking Republican on the House Finance Committee, said this about the
economic forecast issued today:
“I’m encouraged by the forecast and pleased the economy is improving
despite higher fuel costs. We know the economy is cyclical, and the
upswing appears to be continuing.
“Just because the revenue projection is up doesn’t mean the Legislature
should be looking to commit money to unsustainable new programs. Let’s
make sure we have a responsible reserve to weather any unexpected
storms, and then look for ways to return money to the economy and to the
taxpayers.”
