While most Arizonans were sleeping, the State Senate approved a $9.1 billion budget. Included in the budget was $99 million in cuts to University budgets
They did drop the mandate requiring K-12 schools to cut 5% of non-classroom money, and restored state support for rural community colleges
It passed 16-13. The House of Representatives trailed the Senate's work, but the 13-bill budget package was passing easily with a few Republican defections.
