Great News! Last night (Tuesday) the House rejected a budget bill that required no new taxes by a vote of 45 to pass and 74 opposed! This was accomplished by a coalition of Democrats and moderate Republicans. The next debate on a House bill will probably be this afternoon.
The Senate will debate its budget bill also this afternoon. It hold K-12 funding harmless.
We must keep our voices heard. I encourage all of us to drop an email or make a phone call to our local legislators encouraging them to not cut K-12 funding any deeper. (Terry Bruce is now accepting email!) I believe we are making a difference, but we must continue to have our voices heard for a few more days.
