McMorris previously said the officials, sensitive to the financial difficulties the league is facing, agreed to $2.5 million in concessions, but the league sought further cuts in areas such as the travel budget and per diems. Stern said the goal was to bring the referees' budget in line with other departments.

Hate to break it Dave but the referees are a lot more important than their other departments. While we all knock the refs, it will be ugly with replacements.
