Lawmakers Debate Budget Shortfall Issues

Lawmakers on the Appropriations Committee began their first week of the new legislative session with dueling budget shortfalls - one that must be solved now and another that will require further study. A 140 million dollar supplemental budget is expected to go to the floor of the House later this month in an effort to keep the state in the black through June 30. And on Friday, the governor will unveil his new two-year budget that is expected to impose broad spending cuts to close a projected an 850 million dollar revenue gap.
