PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (CNN) — Plagued by rising unemployment, falling tax revenue and increased demand for state services, the nation’s governors met with President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden on Tuesday to press for federal money to ease their fiscal strain.
Obama and Biden told attendees at the National Governors Association meeting that the federal government needs to build a deeper relationship with the governors in order to put America on the path to long-term prosperity.
“Change is not going to come from Washington alone,” Obama said.
