The Governor says $27.6 billion dollar budget will strengthen the state's economy and education system, while continuing his commitment not to increase taxes.
"I am pleased...I can't tell you how much I'm pleased...that we are able to restore funding to several areas of the budget including education.
In total...more than 11 billion dollars...40 percent...of the more than 27 billion dollars of this entire budget goes toward education.
As it was last year...education is our number one spending priority.
