If they are going to cut jobs for corrections and the prisons are already short staffed and run overtime almost always to cover the lack of manpower then are they going to lock down institutions or let the convicted killers go home and put the public back at risk? If the would get rid of all those deputy directors and unnecessary spending of new autos and things then the state would have some money. Why doesn't all the elected officials take a furlough day or a pay cut to pay for all their spending?

Let's see you are going to give a State Trooper 12 days a year off with out pay. So while he is off someone else will have to cover his area and shift so does that mean there will be overtime involved what a savings.
