Donna Arduin: Arnie's Budget Advisor Has Jeb's Seal of Approval

Well, she currently Director of Jeb Bush’s Office of Policy and Budget in Florida, who was previously deputy budget director in both New York (under Pataki) and Michigan. She is considered a tough conservative who cuts pork out of budgets so that taxes don’t have to be increased, but she is also deemed autocratic by her critics.
As Florida’s Budget Director, she is an advocate of supply-side tax policy, and has already come under fire for her economic growth and revenue assessments in Florida, while flacking Jeb Bush’s accomplishments. She has also earned the wrath of Florida GOP Senators for a lack of credibility in touting the soundness of Bush’s tax and economic policies, with the senators claiming that neither she nor Bush fully and accurately account for the insufficient revenues base Florida has to meet future needs, instead touting how swell things are in the here and now.
She is apparently a party to Bush’s refusal to close sales tax exemptions for certain groups in order to fully fund Bush’s education reform promises, something which rankles the Florida GOP Senate moderates, who claim that Bush underfunds his education reform program. Ominously, she has a track record already of someone who is more willing to raid special funds and trust fund surpluses to redirect revenues into the general fund to finance deficits, rather than raising taxes.
And to cap it off, she is a strong supporter apparently of former Florida Secretary of State Kathleen Harris.<snip

1. No surprise

It is no surprise that Arnold is a real Republican. But the people of California believed that he was bipartisan - ha

3. I thought it was hilarious

that she had her purse stolen in downtown Sacramento not long after she got here. I guess she didn't get the hint.
