MONTGOMERY, AL (AP) -
When the Alabama Legislature begins work on a new budget next week,
state agencies could end up with less money for operations despite a
voter-approved shift of $437 million over three years from a state
savings account to the General Fund.
Senate budget committee Chairman Arthur Orr says it will be difficult to craft the new budget that will take effect Oct. 1.
Legislative leaders say state agencies are being
asked to prepare operating plans with reductions of 5% to 10%, but they
hope to give them the same amount of money they're getting this year.
Even if they are funded at the same level, legislators say the agencies
will have less to spend on operations because they're looking at higher
costs for employees' health insurance and retirement.
