Treasurer Richard Eckstrom defends his office after a Senate Finance Committee cut its budget by 400000, calling the move political but acceptable. He notes potential statewide savings of nearly 500 million if similar cuts occur elsewhere, and recalls returning 402000 last year from unspent funds. Senate Chairman John Drummond, Democrat, argues the cut reflected reevaluation of need.
