Plan Offers by Hollander in Budget Compromise Effort
In a Friday executive session the finance committee voted 11 to 2 to back passage of a bill extending state aid eligibility for access roads to villages and counties and to advance a bill allowing the state to perform its own legislative printing. An 11 to 1 vote supported introducing a bill to extend the mental health advisory committee past its June expiry. Governor Reynolds and GOP Senate leaders pushed a compromise budget and tax plan to avert a July 1 financial crisis. Senator Hollander led the proposal with Knowles and Potter assigned to gather Assembly support and a one week recess to allow Joint Finance to focus on the budget and tax bill. About 40 school administrators planned talks with Reynolds over proposed cuts in school aids, risking a 27 percent aid reduction if the stalemate persists. Republicans anticipate drafting compromise bills Tuesday or Wednesday, possibly including income or selective sales tax changes, despite Reynolds veto threats on new sales taxes.
