The lapse of all appropriations leaves government functions without money except for $6.253 million approved for relief. The Democratic House bears responsibility for failing to pass a budget, leaving the state in a dire fiscal standoff.

Budget Deadlock Delays Salaries as Legislature Probes Funds
The Republican senate and Gov Arthur H. James face a 542 million biennial budget clash. The Democratic house passed a revised budget with two tax cuts and higher appropriations, but the senate rejected it as out of balance by 40 to 50 million. To avert salary delays for about 20,000 workers due June 13, a 2 million temporary appropriation was introduced, enabling pay while vouchers are processed, though normal two week voucher timing may still slow final payments.
