Battle brewing between governor, schools chief on more cuts to schools budget
State schools chief Randy Dorn may be positioning himself to fend off cuts in education funding in the special session later this year.
He didn't reply last week to the governor's request for ways to pare spending in public schools to help the state plug a projected $2 billion hole in its budget.
He's preparing an answer to deliver this week, and his response to where he would cut will likely be along the lines of one word – nowhere.
