Cuts & Consolidations
In these tough economic times, everyone is trying to do more with less. Our budget represents the effort to make government leaner, not meaner, by reducing spending without harming vital services.
The 2012-2013 Budget:
- Carefully targets spending cuts to protect programs and maximize federal funding
- Reduces the workforce through the elimination of vacant positions
- Consolidates the current 81 state agencies into a streamlined government of 56 agencies
