The House has opened debate on a plan to cut $500 million in state spending from a number of programs, but Democrats are focusing primarily on state-funded preschool. House Republicans said they expected to debate and approve the spending cuts Wednesday. The reductions would hit spending in a variety of areas over the next three years. Although the package likely will pass in the House, where Republicans hold a 20-seat majority, it could have trouble in the Senate, controlled by Democrats.
