President Elson S. Floyd issued the following statement this afternoon:
“These are clearly very difficult financial times in which the governor is trying to find solutions. A balanced approach to the fiscal crisis in which we find ourselves is appreciated. We look forward to working with the governor and the legislature as we seek to balance our budget during these unprecedented financial times.”
