Budget shocker - Gov't plans to spend $6b more than initially projected

Jamaica Gleaner News "The Government has tacked on just over $6 billion to its spending plans for the fiscal year despite repeated pronouncements from Prime Minister Bruce Golding that a major shortfall in revenue would lead to a sharp cut in the Budget.

The first Supplementary Estimates tabled in Parliament yesterday, which disclosed that the Golding administration now plans to spend $561.4 billion this year instead of the $555 initially budgeted, was met with gasps of disbelief."
