Senate passes budget
An amendment here, an amendment there, and the Senate passed their version of the budget. Republicans ended up backing it because it ended the two temporary taxes.
They'll vote once again tomorrow to make it official and then the negotiations begin between the House, Senate and governor's office.
Given the pretty broad differences between the House and Senate, it could be a long hot June, and maybe more.
