In the Governor's Budget Office mid-fiscal year review, projections show the fiscal year will end with a $450 million deficit and Gov. Rendell ordered a freeze on an additional $170 million in budget cuts from a 1 percent across the board reduction in discretionary spending (about $70 million) and $100 million in "targeted cuts" in discretionary grant programs.
The Governor added he did not believe more furloughs of state employees would be necessary.
