House Appropriations
The Joint Budget Committee's budget-balancing package cleared House Appropriations en masse, with roughly three dozen bills sent to the floor amid a 7% general-fund squeeze. Reps. Scott Bottoms and Matt Soper cast the recurring dissents, while the sharpest testimony came over cuts to non-certified kinship care, local transportation funding, and sweeps from the unclaimed property trust fund.

Notable Quotes
“This is a brutal vote, but a necessary one given our constraints on our budget. I just appreciate the committee at JVC working so hard to find places where we can cut. I think my hope and commitment is that we work hard to make sure and I know that this is the intention of so many members, that we make sure our kinship families are supported as we've shifted the whole system to focus on placing our most vulnerable youth with kin, that we. That they have the right support going forward.”
