Legislature ends session with kindergarten mandate approved
Senate President Hans McCourt hailed a 12 year effort as the legislature enacted a full kindergarten program mandatory for counties next year though parents are not required to send children. Rich appropriations followed for education and mental health with pay raises for state staff and hospital funding while several capital projects were dropped due to money gaps. Reapportionment remained contentious as House and Senate debated district makeup and one person one vote principles amid adjournment pressure.
