House Speaker O'Brien is angry at Gov. Lynch for not keeping him in the loop and consulting with him about his plan to address the budget deficit for the current fiscal year.
The House leader said he was miffed that Lynch and his budget team showed reporters how they would cope with the shortfall with a plan that includes tapping some dedicated funds.
“I’ve heard dedicated funds is one option; he knows that takes legislative approval,” O’Brien said.
“Where he is going to get this approval where he won’t talk to the house is beyond our ability to understand.”
Gov. Lynch is refusing to "talk to the house?" Here's a little background.
April 17, 2011: Lynch, the popular four-term Democrat, extended the first olive branch to the first-term House boss, offering to meet in his office on a weekly basis.
The sessions included the House and Senate presiding officers and majority leaders.
But Lynch revealed that O’Brien canceled them more than a month ago.
“He said they weren’t very productive. I don’t know if it was something I said or someone else in the room,’’ Lynch said, half jokingly.
