State funds cap landfills for school construction plan
About $17 million was provided for landfill revenues to aid school construction. Legislators argue lower revenue should not reduce student benefits while committee members resisted a 5 percent pay raise for judges, citing salaries near $98,000. The panel must cut about $6 million from a $443 million budget gap, trimming computer funding from $32 million to $23 million and delaying 1,000 prison beds and 56 officer hires to save roughly $9.5 million.
