State budget talks delayed until Sunday

The House-Senate conference committee trying to come up with a new state budget won’t meet until 10 a.m. on Sunday, June 28.

“We’re making progress but we need more time,” said Keary McCarthy, spokesman for House Speaker Armond Budish, D-Beachwood. The meeting had been set for Saturday, June 27.

The goal is for Gov. Ted Strickland to sign a new two-year budget before Wednesday, July 1, start of the new fiscal year. If agreement isn’t reached by then, legislators will have to pass an interim budget.

To our legislators that will be meeting on Sunday: Please begin praying now and all weekend that you will make the right decisions as quickly as possible. There are many of us that are going to work on Monday and Tuesday not knowing if we will have a job or be on layoff on Wednesday. I hope you each have a wonderful weekend.
