Legislative leaders said everything would be on the table for budget cuts.
But a Democratic TAPster sent these “quick, back-of-the-envelope numbers” on how deeply the House budget cut agencies headed by Republicans:
Department of Labor cut 6.3%
Agriculture (another Republica) cut just 3.7%
And what happened to Democratic-led agencies?
Attorney General 8.7%
Governor 10.4%
Auditor 15%
Secretary of State 16.7%
Lieutenant Governor 40.5%!
