Budget Deal

“We have reached a tentative agreement on a balanced, responsible budget today after several months of productive discussion. It reflects the values of both parties and moves our state forward. We hope to have a vote prior to July 1.”

That statement, from the four legislative leaders, was just released to reporters. We’re all still scrambling for details, but the Assembly is now scheduled to convene at 5:00 pm.
