Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Wednesday urged lawmakers to pass her $6.3 billion budget proposal that boosts spending on a new school voucher program.
But she stopped short of making new policy proposals as she delivered her first state of the state address according to an Associated Press Report posted by KTLO
Sanders addressed a joint gathering of the state House and Senate as lawmakers convened for an abbreviated legislative session focused on the state’s budget. Sanders last month proposed a budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1 that increases state spending by 1.76% over the previous year.
Nearly all of the $109 million spending increase in Sanders’ proposed budget would go toward education and is related to a law Sanders signed last year that created a new school voucher program.
