Senate Leaders meet with the press after passing their budget on Saturday.
The Senate today passed a new budget that its leaders say should help bring about the consensus necessary for the Legislature to complete its work.
“Once again, the Senate has worked hard to put together and pass a sustainable budget that adheres to our constitutional and moral duty to provide for the education of our children,” said Senate Majority Leader Rodney Tom. “Education should get our first dollars, not our last dime.”
Senate Republican Leader Mark Schoesler agreed.
