| Budget leaders skeptical about GOP spending cuts |
|
House budget chiefs reacted skeptically to Republican proposals to
cut $800 million from next year’s budget at a work session Wednesday,
asking GOP leaders for more specifics about how they would lay off
1,500 state and university workers.
Legislative analysts expressed strong doubts about the largest
single item in the Republican plan -- $195 million recovered from
incorrect Medicaid payments. The staff believes only about one-sixth of those
savings could be achieved. |
