GOP leaders to Ala. gov.: Your budgets won't pass Eds: Updates with details of governor's plan and reaction. Will be updated. By PHILLIP RAWLS Associated Press
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Republican legislative leaders say the state budgets proposed by Alabama's GOP governor won't pass
Gov. Robert Bentley sent the Legislature proposed budgets Wednesday that would take $230 million traditionally spent on public education and use it to operate state agencies, including Medicaid.
The chairman of the House General Fund budget committee, Jim Barton, said he appreciates the governor's efforts to help state agencies, but he said the temperament of the Legislature "is it's dead on arrival."
The chairman of the Senate education budget committee, Trip Pittman, said he won't even bother to introduce the governor's proposed education budget because there is widespread opposition to using education revenue for non-education programs. Pittman said he will work with his committee to write a new budget.
