Agency budget cuts spark sharp challenge from Exon official
LINCOLN UPI A budget official told Unicameral Appropriations Committee that any agency head who cannot accept a 3 percent cut “maybe should not be an agency director.” John Jacobson of the Department of Administrative Services said agencies have seen 27 to 49 percent increases in two years and urged careful reporting on the impact of cuts. The panel asked for agency-by-agency impact reports and considered deficiency requests, as hearings began on Exon’s proposed reductions totaling about 25 million with a 1 million cut from the emergency fund.
