We will not cut our cities and towns by $84 million," said Donovan of Rell's proposed 3 percent cut to town aid in the two-year, $37.6-billion budget that started July 1. "We're not going to sacrifice 5,000 jobs. This recovery is about creating jobs." Majority Senate Democrats on Monday night had not reviewed the House proposals.

A spokesman for Rell warned that Democrats, who run the House 114-37 and the Senate 24-12, are showing "an incredible and disheartening disregard" for the state's fiscal problems, which center on a sharp drop off in sales- and income-tax revenue. The spokesman questioned the accuracy of the Democrats' claimed loss of jobs.
