Governor Carcieri today submitted a revised budget plan for this fiscal year in a bid to close a current-year deficit projected at $151 million. Here, he answers questions from the press at the State House about the sweeping plan. With him at far right is Jeff Neal, the governor's press secretary, and, center, is Steve Kass, Carcieri's director of communications. On the wall above them in the State Room is a portrait of Oliver Hazard Perry, naval hero of the War of 1812. Read the related report by Steve Peoples of The Journal's State House bureau.
