Brian Schweitzer should cut less from the state budget than he is currently considering if Congress sends more money to the state. The move prompted Schweitzer, a Democrat, to pick on Republicans for being inconsistent on spending. Schweitzer's budget director has recommended budget cuts that total about $40 million as a way to ensure that the state makes it through next year without hitting a deficit. The governor is mulling the proposal.
