Gilbert chides Staples for cut that went away

Garrett:
Democratic agriculture commissioner candidate Hank Gilbert says Republican incumbent Todd Staples (right) did a "despicable" thing last winter: Staples, forced to offer up 5-percent budget cut suggestions for his department, offered 17 possible trims. Among the $7.2 million worth was a possible $2 million reduction in a grant program for "meals on wheels" type programs for seniors and the disabled.
