CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead plans to present state agency budget cuts to lawmakers later this month.
Mead announced in April that falling energy revenues would require all state agencies to cut their spending by 8 percent in the two-year budget cycle that starts July 1. The cuts will reduce spending below the $3 billion general funds budget that lawmakers worked out earlier this year.
Mead will brief the Legislature's Joint Appropriations Committee on the budget cuts June 21. Mead has been meeting with state agency directors in recent weeks to work out specifics.
David Bush, spokesman for Mead, said Monday the governor doesn't intend to release details before his committee presentation.
