Public Safety Commisioner Charlie Weaver is canceling the next round of state trooper training due to lack of funds. The state patrol is currently 26 troopers short, and 64 troopers will reach retirement age by the end of the year. The canceled January class would have trained thirty recruits to fill some of those spots. Republican lawmaker Carol Molnau chairs the House transportation finance committee. She says the money should be there.
