事实证明,前一半完成得比较轻松。由于州议院受民主党控制,最近又获得选民授权以绝对优势通过预算方案,而不是以仅仅三分之二的微弱优势,所以大多数必要削减已被批准,在主要支出中只有教育支出被宽免。民主党之所以做出这个牺牲,是因为他们知道另一种选择全面削减方案加使痛苦加倍。
It is the other half, the tax extensions, that is proving intractable. Mr Brown won his electionin part by promising no new taxes without a vote of the people. So his plan, and his fate asgovernor, requires getting the tax extension onto the ballot.
结果是另一半,即延长税收让人伤脑筋。布朗竞选胜利,在某种程度上,是由于他承诺没有进行选民投票就不征收新税。所以他的方案,连同他作为州长的命运,要求采用无记名投票来决定是否采取延长税收方案。
He was hoping to do this in June, just before the start of the new fiscal year in July, when thetemporary taxes are set to expire. That way the vote would still be about extending taxes. In the latest polling, a majority of voters do, in fact, favour putting thedecision on a ballot, although their support has been declining. More worrying, only 46% nowsay they would vote for the proposed tax extensions.
他希望在今年六月前进行投票,这样正好赶在七月新的财政年度开始之前,届时临时税收将到期。这样,投票内容将还是关于延长税收。事实上,最近的一次民意调查显示,虽然选民支持度一直在下降,他们大多数还是赞成采用无记名投票来做出决定。更令人担忧的是,目前只有46%的选民称他们会对提出的延长税收方案投赞成票。
