The governor said increasing funding equally for the big three is fair…
The state Joint Committee on Appropriations has adopted official revenue estimates for both this year and next year — one-time revenues for this year are $17 milliion above estimate, and on-going revenue estimates for next year have increased by $30 million.
Rhoden said he has no new recommendations for the current year’s budget…
Back in December, Rhoden had proposed a zero-percent funding increase for the big three. Last year, the big three received a one-point-two-five percent increase.
