Meet the new budget . pretty much the same as the old budget.
Déjà- vu week at the legislature continued Thursday as the Yukon political climate continues to be at least slightly askew.
Premier Sandy Silver introduced a new – revised – budget that looks very, very similar to the one he tabled March 4 and subsequently
campaigned on.
There are a few additions – mostly squeezing in the promises contained in the confidence and supply agreement struck with the NDP – and a few changes, including some revised funding from the federal government.
The meat of it, though, is precisely the same as Yukoners saw in March.
