With less than a month left in the legislative session, there’s still no consensus on how to fix the state’s more than $250 million dollar General Fund budget shortfall. And while the debate’s still active, the House Ways and Means committee did approve a budget with deep cuts this week.
Here with more is Don Dailey. He’s the host of Capitol Journal on Alabama Public Television, and he joins WBHM each Friday during the legislative session with the latest from the state house. To start, Dailey catches WBHM’s Rachel Lindley up on how this austere budget got out of committee.Photo by BriYYZ
