“Today the General
Assembly finally took a step forward with a bipartisan negotiated
compromise that will fund core services of state government. This
compromise is far from perfect, but it shows that both sides can
work together to get things done for the citizens of this diverse
state.
It is vitally important that we fund education, and this bill fully
funds education for the first time in seven years. It is vitally
important that we fund our transportation projects, and this bill
provides resources for infrastructure improvements. It is vitally
important that we fund our human services programs and this bill
funds critical human services. Many other vital state services need
to be funded, and they are funded in this bill.
We still have much more work to do to get a complete resolution, but
I will continue to work to find solutions to the problems we face in
our state.”
[Office of the Representative Tim
Butler]
