This would force a reduction of the budget by the same amount, Elfstrom said. Own Parry Rebels Klfstrom's announcement appar ently means the governor will run into trouble within his own party in trying to sell his $359 million budget to the legislature. Answering Hatfield's statement that Elfstrom's move is "politi cal," and that there is no fat in the budget, Elfstrom said: "I am convinced there is some fat in the budget. The fact that it is balanced almost exactly with estimated revenues shows there must be some fat. If the revenues had been $10 million less, then the governor would have balanced at that point still with no in creased taxes." Asked where he thought the cuts might be made, Elfstrom said he wants to see state salaries in creased. But he said cuts can bo made in other areas. lie said his bill probably would go to the Joint Ways and Means Committee, and lay there until the committee completes its budget study.
