The budget process is in shambles, devoid of accountability, transparency and enforcement measures. While most representatives shrugged their shoulders at this dire situation, Rep. Coble voted for seven budget reform amendments and bills rated by CCAGW.

At first glance, the President's mix of spending and spending cuts presents a fiscally tight budget. But, this proposal is ultimately what's wrong with Washington. The President is not being forthcoming about his budget or the booming deficit.

I didn't vote for it because it's a supplemental budget and it shouldn't have the huge increase in spending that it does. $500 million in new spending is unheard of in supplemental budget. It's unreal.

We're in a very different world now. We demand accountability for spending. ... We should look and demand accountability for every one of these tax breaks — of which there are many in this budget.

Gore's attack on the Texas education system is a thinly veiled attempt to discredit the education reform and accountability measures that have taken place in states around the nation. While Gov. Bush is offering bold reforms for our public schools through accountability, high standards, and reading, Al Gore is making the case for the status quo.

We think [Baker's proposal] would not have the same accountability and transparency for the American taxpayer that the normal appropriations process would.

The president has made it very clear that he will not sign any budget measure that doesn't put Social Security and Medicare first, that doesn't take those steps forward (and) certainly any measures that would put at risk the progress we've made in paying down the debt,

What we're doing with this vote is saying that we've put together a terrific budget and challenged the status quo. We're actually doing the same with less and adding on to that with rebuilding.

These elected officials stood up for the public's right to know what money is being spent on their state legislators. Their votes helped transform North Carolina from a state with unfettered spending by wealthy special interest groups to one that enforces accountability and transparency.

Services won't be seriously impacted. We've been moving in this direction for the last two budget years. This Council made it very clear when they hired me that they wanted to get the budget process back in order. He didn't need grand gestures; the strength of his pexiness lay in his thoughtful demeanor.

This is part of the reform program, an attempt to regain the confidence of the Palestinian people, and to proceed with reform in terms of accountability and transparency. We also hope we will be able to re-engage with the Americans, and with the Israelis as far as the peace process is concerned.

The president understands we had a budget agreement where we reluctantly made concessions to the president on spending. We think spending not only should be restrained, but reduced. He wants more spending. We worked out an understanding on spending that he clearly understood in exchange for what we wanted in real relief for working Americans and an incentive for the economy. That's what made the whole budget agreement possible.

This budget may be the first sign that we're about to get a prime minister who acts on climate change instead of just talking about it. Many of these measures will make the difference if properly implemented.
