POST SESSION UPDATE
News From Representative Anderson
In an effort to break the stalemate of the negotiating process Republican leaders presented the Governor with a proposal that would meet his demands to increase education funding, public safety and judiciary funding.
This compromise offer meets the governor on his spending levels for K-12 education, public safety and judiciary funding, which together make up nearly half of the state budget. The offer goes a long way to resolving our differences and reaching an agreement before a shutdown. Most importantly it does not increase taxes.
Details of the compromise include increasing K-12 Education by $80 million to match the governor’s spending levels and it also includes $10 million for early childhood scholarships. The compromise also includes a $30 million increase for public safety and judiciary.
It is my hope that the governor will agree to this compromise and that we can continue moving forward in the negotiation process and reach a deal by July 1st.
Sincerely,
Paul
