The state House could vote this week on a $5 billion plan for financing public education and general government programs. The budget plan could be wrapped up in committee today and then on to the full House. The proposal tentatively calls for a spending increase of a little more than $200 million on schools and other programs in the next fiscal year. The plan leaves about $41 million available for possible tax cuts and sets aside a $14 million contingency, making the money available for several programs if state revenue projections remain on target.
