House GOP Caucus

House GOP Caucus met today discussing the federal stimulus package. They noted that public education will receive a net deduction of 6%, and higher education will receive a net deduction of 9% for FY 2010. The legislatures are currently reviewing what state agencies will be funded or restored through the federal stimulus money. They are going to look at each agency line item by line item. Rep. Bigelow said that they would have this information by next Caucus meeting.
