We're waiting for the numbers

You probably saw the headlines that the legislature passed a budget yesterday, meeting the constitutional deadline. However, other than general news summaries, the numbers are not yet available from the Dept. of Finance or the Legislative Analyst. In addition, the budget isn't final until the governor signs it and makes whatever line-item vetoes he decides. So we'll patiently await the numbers and make them available in due course. The governor has until June 30 to make his decisions. Since he reached a deal with the Democratic leaders in the legislature, the final enacted budget may be available before then.
