text: False. I reviewed the 2007, 2008, and 2009 actuals for the budget and I found extraordinary increases across the board. Inflation since 2007 - 10 years has been nil.  No need for increases.  Some are necessary. However in 2007 the legislature had a budget of $40M...this year $70M and no real reason why. There are other examples but I urge you to do actual research in the place of grand statements.
