Will It Happen Again?
The budget deadline is more than a month and a half away, but some are already predicting it won’t be met. The issue was raised by Mario Civera Republican appropriations chair in the State House. Civera was criticizing his counterpart, Dwight Evans, for not yet posting the budget bill so members can prepare amendments. Evans says he’s waiting on revenue figures to formally introduce the budget bill. State Representative David Millard says making sure services for the elderly are funding will be a main concern.
