Governor Crist issued a statement regarding agency proposals for spending reductions:Â
“Over the next several weeks, our teams will work together with the Legislature to review all options presented by our state agencies to balance the budget and live within our means. Many of our agencies have suggested reductions to administrative costs and other creative ideas to reduce expenses while minimizing cuts to direct services. I look forward to working with the Legislature to find solutions that balance our budget and maintain the health and safety of all Floridians.”
