Senate budget tightrope edges toward $344 million cuts
In Columbia Senate budget writers face a $5 billion state budget and $344 million in cuts without video gambling tax revenue or tobacco settlement funds. Finance Chairman John Drummond urged reductions to balance the Senate plan as revenue teams chase $585 million in new revenue. The House expects $300 million from gambling taxes, while the Senate aims for $150 million from regulations, a push that risks filibusters. Education gains, with $347 million for salaries and materials, plus $20 million for Hodges preschool and $17 million to shrink class sizes, anchor the plan as tobacco funds remain tied in appeals.
