Education Budget in House on Tuesday
The debates over the budget always seem to be shorter when there is a shortfall. The only fight is between who will get cut the most this year. Below is the Special Order Calendar for Tuesday. The first bill on the calendar will amount to a new tax on business in Alabama so it should create quite a stir when it comes up for debate. With higher education and K-12 schools battling over a much smaller budget it could be a longer debate than expected in the House.

Rep. Ward,
I and many others sincerely appreciate your diligence in keeping the public as informed as you possibly can.
I too anticipate a battle tomorrow over both HB350 and the Education Budget. It will be an interesting day.
