The state of Georgia is expected to meet its budget for fiscal year 2012, though more cuts could be looming for state agencies. State Sen. Jack Hill (R-Reidsville), chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said the state is on track to meet the budget, which is about $18 billion. However, the governor has asked all departments, except for Education and Medicaid, to explore 2 percent cuts.
