a new state budget that now heads to the Republican-ruled Senate for a
major overhaul.
Republican leaders in the Senate hope to outline
their budget proposal tomorrow, and changes could be made to the House
budget that same day. The Senate will likely revamp the spending plan
to be closer to a budget proposed by Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels.
The
House voted 52-48 today to approve a one-year budget Democrats said
would increase state spending on schools by 2 percent and boost funding
for higher education. Outnumbered House Republicans said the proposal
spends too much money.
