It is easier to read when you just focus on the 54 with zero cuts…

Guys,
Thanks for making a link to the actiual PDF of the cuts, that’s fabulous.
Meanwhile, the posting of the differences doesn’t help much, since all cuts need to be viewed in their relative (to the current buget allocation) weight. Historical data would be even better.
In this regard, the title of the post is somewhat of misleading – for instance, Beshear keeps the education-industrial complex even fatter than needed.
But, again, thanks for posting the real PDF release!
It’d be nice

It’s official – he hates kids. Especially kids who want to be healthy and educated!
I am dismayed.
Where’s the humanity?
