Bauer says the House will try to save money by looking at circulating all bills electronically instead of printing them. He says that step could save thousands of dollars.

[UPDATED] Democrats Support Spending Reductions
Our partners at Network Indiana\WIBC report House Speaker Bauer says Daniels was also correct on insisting a bigger reserve fund, but he adds the federal stimulus package made that buffer possible. A key democrat in Indiana believes Governor Mitch Daniels is doing the right thing by ordering more spending cuts as the state deals with declining revenue. However, House Speaker Pat Bauer (D-6) hopes the governor does not cut education in the future.

During this year's legislative session, Bauer called for the Governor to spend the state's $1.3 billion surplus on public works programs to create jobs and to avoid deep cuts at many school districts.
Now, with state revenue continuing to fall short of a May forecast, Bauer says Daniels was correct on insisting a bigger reserve fund, but he adds the federal stimulus package made that buffer possible.
The House is not bound by Daniels' move to slash government spending by 10 percent and freeze salaries for a second consecutive year.
