Maybe Gov. Robert Bentley didn't really cut 217 line items from the state budget. But there were definitely some projects that were completely cut off from state funding in the governor's budget proposal. As Bentley said, Halls of Fame and other tourist sites were among the line items eliminated in Bentley's proposal.

But, as the Anniston Star's Cameron Steele reports, the budget also eliminates all funding for 28 children's advocacy centers. Those centers help kids who have been abused, and they help prosecutors get convictions against the abusers.

Bentley's office responds that the advocacy centers aren't state agencies and can get funding elsewhere.
