The Texas Senate Finance Committee plans to vote next week on a two year budget that includes federal stimulus money. Senator Dewhurst criticizes the stimulus debt, while Senator Ogden notes the plan balances without Rainy Day Fund uses. Federal funds total under 10 percent of about 177 billion dollars in all funds. An extra 3.3 billion in stimulus money remains for the current budget period ending this summer. The House prepares its own budget version for a vote next month as the biennial session runs to June.
