House and Senate: A loveless marriage?
by Dara Kam | April 23rd, 2009A weary J.D. Alexander, the Senate budget chief, spoke to Senate Dems this morning about the stymied budget situation as negotiations with the House appear to have stalled.
Alexander, R-Lake Wales, said he’s been working 18 hours a day for weeks to try to bring the budget in for a landing but is running into resistance from House leaders who insist on cutting higher ed by more than $400 million.
“Whether we like it or not, we are married to them and there isn’t any divorce and there isn’t any separation,” Alexander said.
