The mostly administrative spending cuts cover everything from a freeze on management-level salaries and hiring, to some equipment purchases and
travel. The savings are estimated at $6.7 million in state funding. "This bill is about balancing the budget. And it leads the way by cutting ourselves first," said Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Kelli Linville. "Every bit helps as we try to fight our way out of this global financial crisis."
