Show Notes
Georgias Senate unanimously passed a revised $38.5 billion budget for FY 2023, making significant changes to the Houses initial plan. The Senate cut $110 million from public college funding, increased private K-12 voucher funding by $31 million, and allocated an additional $100 million for state employee pensions. The pension boost aims to address decades of inflation. The Senate also shifted the Houses literacy push, replacing coach funding with a $70 million grant and eliminating $11 million for food stamp eligibility checks, opting for free help from Equifax instead. The budget now heads to a conference committee for further negotiations.
