Robert Gray on Technology

 

 


Invest the Rainy Day Fund on infrastructure

Democratic nominee Robert Gray believes the time has come for lawmakers to start spending from the so-called `rainy day fund.` Bryant and the GOP leadership tout filling up the fund as symbolic of their party's championship of conservative fiscal principles. Gray wants to spend some of the roughly $400 million in the account in order to grow and strengthen the state.

`Every penny from that rainy-day fund, if he invested in the state, it would make money,` Gray said. `If we spent it on infrastructure, people from the materials (industries) are going to make money, The trucking industry is going to make money because you need trucks to haul it. The food industry is going to make money. Every penny we invest in our state is going to come back to us as profit.`

Should he defeat Bryant, he said, `I can explain how it's going to help our economy and make them look better.`
