Province Accused Of Being Fanatically Attached To Cuts

We'll be finding out March 27th how the Alward Government plans to tackle the deficit and rising provincial debt when the provincial budget is unveiled. 

The consensus appears to be it will be a tough one with alot of cuts. 

Jason Edwards of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives tells CHSJ News too much slicing and dicing could come back to bite the province.
 
Edwards goes so far as to say there appears to be an almost fanatic fervor that cuts are the only way to go while the amount of revenue government needs is ignored. 

He advocates the more affluent in the province pay more tax and the tax cuts initiated by the previous Liberal government be rolled back.
