AUSTIN – Legislative leaders want state agencies to further trim spending over the next 10 months, roughly doubling the budget cuts ordered last spring, they said Monday. In a foretaste of heavy cuts expected as lawmakers write the next two-year state budget in next year's session, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and Speaker Joe Straus, R-San Antonio, said they want to minimize red ink that's pooling rapidly in the current cycle, which ends Aug. 31.
