State budget shortfall declines tax increase plan
State estimates of budget shortfall fall as Emlers committee drafts a budget with at least 330 million in tax hikes. House GOP leaders oppose higher taxes while Appropriations backs a plan avoiding tax hikes but failing to replace 172 million in one time federal school funds. Legislators adjourned for spring break with April 28 reconvening to address spending and taxes. The cash crunch delays monthly aid to schools and leaves 55 million of 70 million pension payments unpaid, while refunds remain on schedule.
