The Florida Senate on Wednesday charged ahead with a nearly $71 billion budget, despite complaints from university students, hospital lobbyists and even some Republicans in the House about some of the decisions contained in the spending plan.
The Senate Budget Committee voted unanimously for the budget proposal after a marathon all-day session that focused primarily on the deep cuts the budget has in store for the state's 11 public universities. The legislation also cuts spending on hospitals, limits emergency room visits for poor patients, and eliminates thousands of state worker jobs.
