Assembly Dems to huddle on budget repair
Assembly Democrats will get an update on budget repair negotiations at a caucus beginning at 10 a.m. in the Capitol.
Senate Majority Leader Russ Decker, D-Weston, is expected to brief the Assembly Dems on the budget negotiations, as is a representative from the governor's office and from the Legislative Fiscal Bureau.
A resolution to the projected $525 million state budget deficit has been mired in talks between Decker, Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch, R-West Salem, and the Doyle administration. Doyle called Decker and Huebsch to his office last week for a meeting, and the lawmakers said when they emerged that they all agree the budget repair bill needs to be resolved soon.
Spokesmen for Assembly and Senate Republicans say they have no plans to caucus.
