The "Budget Battle" is over! The coalition of Democrats and Moderate Republicans prevailed. This morning after 2:00 a.m. the House concurred with the Senate and passed a 1 cent sales tax increase. Passage of this revenue bill ensures that for Buhler USD 313 we will have enough budget authority to finish this fiscal year and next year without deeper cuts to the budget! I truly believe that it was a grassroots effort that made a difference. Even though we did not change votes with our Reno County delegation, the sentiment in Topeka moved from one of deeper cuts to one of finding revenue sources. Thanks to all of you who became politically active.
Today is a day of celebration and the beginning of a new era with school finance!
Sincerely,
David
