The Department of Corrections has a $90 million deficit, Director Colette Peters told a budget subcommittee Monday. Sentencing reforms passed last year were expected to save money, but those savings haven’t been enough so far, she said. The department received $1.4 million for the 2013-15 biennium, which was $34 million more than it received the year before. However, if one discounts grants it received (which do not come from the general fund), the budget is actually $8.3 million less than the department received from the general fund in 2011-13.
