House GOP Resolves Differences, Passes Spending Plan

Posted
and last updated

House Republicans have resolved their differences over the state's $37 billion annual spending plan.

A day after a series of heated exchanges and amendments on the House floor that threatened to blow up the budget bill, the chamber returned into session on Friday to restore most of the original plan.

The chamber voted 83-2 to send the measure to the Senate, which has been expected to send the bill to the governor next week.

The only major change that ended up being placed into the document was to direct $55 million to county road programs. That money had originally been designated by Governor Bill Haslam to start tackling a $10 billion backlog in state highway and bridge projects.

The state constitution has required lawmakers to pass a balanced budget plan every year.

The list of all 95 counties below shows how much each would receive under the proposal to allocate $55 million for road projects as part of the annual state budget bill.
