Governor Receives Partial Budget Solution
Yesterday, the Legislature attempted to finalize action on the emergency budget package amidst considerable confusion and irritation.
Eventually, the Assembly sent five measures to the Governor, achieving about $2.3 billion in savings. Outstanding issues remain, however, including concurrence on two measures that have already passed the Senate and failed in the Assembly, as well as the cash management proposal and gas tax swap.
