INDIANAPOLIS – House and Senate budget negotiators met throughout the weekend – and are behind closed doors already this morning – but haven’t reached a compromise needed to avert a government shutdown.
Education funding continues to be a major stumbling point, though lawmakers made some small but steady progress on other items, such as agreeing that the budget should span two years.
They are set to go back into session today at 1:30 p.m. but they do not have a final product to vote on.
Legislators have until midnight Tuesday to pass a new budget or Gov. Mitch Daniels will be forced to shut down much of state government.
That is because the current budget expires and the Indiana Constitution prohibits spending money the General Assembly has not appropriated.
