“It is important that we show the governor and my fellow members of the General Assembly what is at stake if the proposed budget cuts are passed,” said Beiser.  “Hospitals and other businesses that offer essential services should be a top priority in the drafting of the state budget.  The proposed budget cuts will hurt the most vulnerable people in our state and jeopardize our local economy, and that is something that I cannot support.”
