Budget panel trims Pryor surplus plan, adds projects
Arkansas Joint Budget Committee approved most of Gov. Pryor's 68.7 million surplus spending plan, striking under 2 million in cuts and adding about 5.5 million in nonrecommending projects. The panel endorsed using roughly 16 million annually of cushion funds and federal revenue sharing for highways, and backed moves to relocate Driver Services, restore Social Services jobs, boost juvenile services funds, fund a Hot Springs museum, and raise licenses for Game and Fish. The committee also approved a supplemental 778,802 for nursing homes and increased campus funding by 1.24 million beyond Pryor's request.
