GOMB Director Issues Statement

SPRINGFIELD - Tim Nuding, Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget, issued the following statement regarding the departure of advisor Donna Arduin:

"As a key leader in the new Administration, Donna played an instrumental role in re-establishing sound economic and fiscal principles at GOMB, the Department of Revenue and throughout state government. She helped engineer the elimination of an inherited $1.5 billion budget deficit without a tax increase and produced an on-time budget proposal for the governor to present barely more than one month after taking office. She has been an invaluable advisor to me, and I look forward to her continued advice as we work to reach a pro-growth economic and fiscal agreement for the state."
