The House and Senate leadership have been working to reconcile their budget proposals in order to send a veto-proof plan to the governor. The Senate's budget reforms education and allows the temporary sales tax to expire. To restart unemployment benefits, the House offered concessions on a vetoed bill, though the governor still opposes it. A bill reforming the state Board of Education gained support after addressing critics' concerns. Another bill passed by the House would create a health benefit exchange for uninsured people and small businesses.
