The Missouri House has passed a more than $29
billion state spending plan for the fiscal year beginning in July.
The Republican-led House yesterday sent a budget package to the Senate that
includes about $61 million more in core K-12 public school funding and roughly
flat funding for higher education.
The House plan also includes $100 million in un-earmarked general revenue for
roads and bridges.
Republicans touted the additional funding for education included in the
proposal. Democrats argued that schools still need more money and laid blame on
Republican-backed tax cuts.
Senate President Pro Tem Dave Schatz yesterday said he wants to compromise
with the House on a way to pay for transportation maintenance. But he says he
still prefers borrowing money through bonding to fund bridge repairs.
