On Budget & Economy: Cut budget without losing core services

"We have to be fiscally responsible and cut out all unnecessary expenses, but we also have to have enough revenue to fund core services," Jones said. "If you turn me loose today, I could show you some areas where we could make cuts and not lose core services." Jones said he thinks many state agencies are top heavy with excessive administration, His own agency's budget has been slashed from $5.9 million in 2010 to $2.9 million this year.
