Kathleen Vinehout: Investing in more support for people helps economy thrive

Budgets are a blueprint of our priorities. What we spend state dollars on truly reflects what we value for our people and our communities. When government provides the supports that increase opportunities for people, the economy thrives. The corporate think tanks tell us that the "business climate" is good when the choice is low taxes and few regulations. But, research tells us the states with good public services are the states that thrive.
