Introduced in the Senate on April 25, 2007, to adopt a
Republican plan to match current year spending with expected revenues, closing an approximately $722 million gap. This bill contains the school portion, and would authorize a per-pupil school aid cut of $36, compared to $122 per pupil, which is the amount expected if no other cuts are made or taxes raised. The difference would mostly be made up by transferring $140 million that has been allocated but not yet spent from the “
21st Century Jobs Fund” to the School Aid Fund
The vote was 20 in favor, 17 opposed and 1 not voting
