Barbour set to announce more budget cuts
The governor also said he would abide by a Supreme Court order that says he cannot reduce the judiciary’s budget.
Barbour said he’s likely to take another $21 million from the state budget on top of the $437 million he has cut thus far in three previous rounds of reductions.
“The problem is it’s getting worse not better,” Barbour said, speaking this morning to The Clarion-Ledger editorial board.
Barbour said the additional cut is based on one of the more positive numbers to arise from several different revenue estimating models.
