Senate budget clash sparks debate over control and funds
House lawmakers and Gov Hodges discuss budget control limits with Rep Mark Kelley arguing decisions belong to lawmakers not the executive branch. Rainwater cites 212 million in reserve and 4.3 billion in accounts while officials consider tapping funds including tobacco settlement and Medicaid reserves. Legislators push for certification by the State Budget Office as Harrell Quinn and Wilkins draft bills. The Ways and Means panel aims to finish by March and the House plans to vote before sending to the Senate.
