Budget Agreement We have an agreement on budget numbers between the House Republican and Senate Democrat leadership. The agreement starts with the House budget figures that would keep overall spending just below estimated rev- enue for the coming fiscal year. The problem is that they then add nearly $135 million more in spending, mean- ing that we will spend that much more, than we receiwe in revenue. On pre-K:12 school spending the agreement starts with the House's 1.25% that is added to the base funding amount, but then adds $55.7 million more in what they call a one time commitment that will come from surplus money from prior years. There is almost $9 million additional money appropriated to the Regents schools and Community Colleges, for the coming year. There will also be some money used to reduce debt from the Culver administration that we are still paying on. There is an additional $43 million appropriation to make up for a shortfall in the current year's Medicaid funding. Most budget bills contain some good provi- sions and policies. However, I voted against nearly all the budget bills because overall they appropriate more money than we will receive in revenue. The Governor had requested that we pass school funding for the next fiscal year, that begins July 1, 2016, but the Democrats were not willing to do so. It appears that we will go through the same controversy next year as this year, on school funding. Don't be surprised if the Democrats complain that there is no agreement on school funding, after we convene next year. By the time you read this, we will have adjourned. Pro-Life Progress The pro-life movement took a step forward with a provision in the Health and Human Services budget that requires that a woman who is getting an abortion be offered the opportunity to see an ultrasound of her baby. She must also be advised of alternatives to abortion. In addition the provision requiring the Governor's ap- proval before any abortions can be paid for with state funds was retained.
