Excerpt:

While Orange County Clerk of Courts Lydia Gardner said the Casey Anthony murder trial could be in jeopardy if proposed legislative funding cuts go through, the state senator overseeing funding to the court clerks said today that the cuts Gardner is worried about will not be nearly as deep as she fears.

"The clerk, I believe, may have some misinformation," said state Sen. Mike Fasano, a Republican from New Port Richey. "The five percent reduction they speak of is wrong. It's inaccurate."

At worst, Fasano said funding to the clerks of courts around the state will be a little less than one percent. At best, he said, their funding levels won't change at all.
