Gov. John J. Gilligan's 9 billion biennial budget is split into three sections and sent to the House for consideration. House Speaker Kurfess explains sponsorship by committee chairs to avoid personal endorsement. A new revenue package faces April hearings and a April 13 cutoff for new bills. Senate rules shift to speed passage and allow bloc gubernatorial nominations.
