General Fund Budget Unanimously Passes in the House

The House convened this morning at 10:00 and by 11:00 had passed the General Fund Budget for 2010.

In a 101 to 0 vote, they unanimously passed the $2.546 billion operating budget for the state. This amount includes one billion stimulus dollars coming into the state. Note that this does not include education dollars which are allocated separately through the Education Trust Fund Budget.

The General Fund Budget will now move to the Senate for final approval before going to the Governor.
