KONA: …for now you’re looking at about a $1.6 million cut in the budget. How soon do you think you’ll finish the work on that?
Cummins: I’ve had a committee working on it with me for the last several months. We knew that a big cut was coming. We weren’t sure about what the number would be because the Senate and the House versions varied very dramatically. Unfortunately, it landed on the Senate side of the spectrum and we’ll be taking more cuts than we hoped for. …that committee concluded it’s work on Friday and is sending me some recommendations that I’ll consider–that I’ll add and subtract from. And within the next three weeks I’ll be moving to make those cuts.
