Legislative leaders from all four Caucuses emerged from budget talks Saturday evening saying they made progress on closing the $400 million gap between their positions on spending levels.
Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi (R-Delaware) was tasked with presenting a "budget concept" of $27.9 billion in spending, which does include an increase in basic education funding and a contingency plan if Congress does not appropriate the $850 million in Medicaid funding the state was expecting, to the Governor for his review.
Each of the legislators said they are still shooting to have the budget done next week.
