The Texas Senate passed a roughly 100 billion dollar two year budget on Saturday, restoring much of the 2011 cuts to public schools and funding a new ambitious water plan. The plan, backed by Republicans, raises state employees pay by 3 percent and allocates billions to mental health and education while keeping Rainy Day Fund use limited and delaying some transportation projects.
