Since the last Capitol Report was posted, a great deal has happened in Juneau. The House passed an operating budget on March 12 and sent it to the Senate a few days later for consideration by that body. On March 25, after reviewing the House’s budget proposal, the Senate’s University Budget Subcommittee forwarded its recommendations on the University of ÐÓ°Épro’s operating budget to the full Senate Finance Committee.
