The state's latest proposed two-year budget is on its way to Gov. Greg Abbott's desk for his signature. After months of negotiations with the Senate, the House approved the 248 billion dollar spending plan on Thursday by a vote of 146-to-2. The Senate had unanimously approved the compromise bill the day before. The amount of the budget represents a reduction of more than 13-billion-dollars from the previous two-year budget, mostly because of federal pandemic relief. Abbott has the option of exercising a line-item veto.
