The state may have to lay off about 136 workers at mental health instutions as well as accept fgewer children and adults for care because of budget cuts. this is part of the $84 million in cuts state lawmakers mandated for this budget year across all agencies. DHS’s is $27.3 million, or 9% of its operating budget. Lawmakers set a deadline of Dec. 1 for figuring out how to make the $84 million in cuts, but the Culver administration didn’t tell the agencies how much money they’d lose until last week.
