Governor to propose budget cuts in early February
Informants say Governor Dewey will cut the 1850-81 state budget by up to 1 million dollars, with a total under 80 million. The reduction aims to offset declining revenues without raising taxes, dipping into the tax stabilization fund instead. The lean budget will require shifts within the state Purposes section as mandated increases in focal maintenance are expected. The Governor plans to present the 195041 spending program to the Legislature on February 1.
