State of Alabama: Enacted Budget Cuts

“Facing our budget shortfalls, we must make the most efficient use of the funds on hand. There will be cuts, and many will be painful. But the people we serve expect us to make these tough decisions – and we will.”

- Gov. Bob Riley Address to Alabama Legislature Sept. 15,2003


Gov. Riley followed through on that commitment and gave the people of Alabama a government that is smaller and more efficient. One that operates with the resources at hand. One that eliminated pass-through pork and funding for non-government agencies.

Although our budget crisis presents an ongoing challenge, it is also an historic opportunity to build a more cost effective and efficient government for our state. If you have ideas on how to make Alabama’s government better, you can share them with Gov. Riley by sending him an e-mail at governorbobriley@governor.state.al.us.
