He pushed linking water funding to school construction, a plan that faces resistance. The Gazette Fact Checker reviews his claims on economy education and energy.
The GOP governor urged lawmakers to allocate nearly 147 million more for K12 education and eight million more for courts, largely for pay raises. He warned rising Medicaid costs could consume virtually all revenue growth unless contained, per Page 7A.
