## Resource

Governor Mike Kehoe just pulled off a major fiscal maneuver — slashing $53 million in spending and freezing another $440 million, all while issuing over 60 line-item vetoes and imposing restrictions on 70+ budget items. These moves aren’t just numbers; they’re reshaping state priorities, putting critical community programs and infrastructure projects on hold — all while officials wait for revenue reports to decide if the frozen funds will ever move. The real drama? That $440 million in limbo — it could be the next big story.
