Governor Robert Ray reports the Economy Committee's 594 recommendations aim to cut costs and improve efficiency. So far 317 executive actions are in place saving 1.72 million last year and 4.57 million annually. 87 legislative actions save 1.49 million. With about 10 percent realized, another 8.7 million yearly could follow if adopted, while 195 remaining recommendations could yield about 18 million annually. The General Assembly meets in January to act. None of this puts money in taxpayers’ pockets, but keeps funds in state operations.
