Legislature's Appropriations Committee going back to work

The 2010-2011 budget passed by the Legislature called for the Joint Standing Committee on Appropriations and Financial Affairs to recommend additional budget cuts. The Appropriations Committee will be meeting over the summer and will present a plan to the full Legislature during the Second Regular Session, which begins in January. While the budget called for the Appropriations Committee to find $30 million in savings, recent decreases in state revenue may require the committee to make larger cuts.
