It doesn’t seem like more than a teaspoon scooped out of the bowl of red ink, but Gov. Dannel P. Malloy just ordered $13.7 million in cuts to the current budget that runs through June 30.
The deficit estimate had reached up to $191 million, but Comptroller Kevin Lembo pegs it at $172 million.
The larger reductions come from:
- Office of Early Childhood – $5.8 million
- UConn – $2 million
- the UConn Health Center – $1 million
- The Board of Regents for Higher Education – $1.5 million
