Lawmakers Overcome Budget Stumbling Block

KUNC

After a heated debate over proposed cuts to state agencies, lawmakers on the joint budget reached a compromise on Thursday. 

The committee is evenly split between Republicans and Democrats, and is pushing up against a deadline to introduce the budget next week. KUNC's State Capitol Reporter Bente Birkeland has more. 

Bente Birkeland has been reporting on state legislative issues for KUNC and Rocky Mountain Community Radio since 2006. Originally, from Minnesota, Bente likes to hike and ski in her spare time. She keeps track of state politics throughout the year but is especially busy during the annual legislative session from January through early May.
