Legislature Continues Budget Talks and Bond Vote
The Senate eyed a 500 dollar salary rise but tax bill reversals may force a compromise through teacher pay hikes. If funds come from cuts, state employee raises might drop five percent, yet college staff would stay unaffected. House also moves toward a statewide 350 million road bond while pushing for an independent audit of state funds. A public disclosure bill passed with exemptions for welfare and volunteer workers, and motor vehicle driver amendments were approved. A note on funeral arrangements and a drunken driving case in Mont Hope concludes the report.
