State Funding for PDCs

General Assembly:
“The House and Senate budget conferees charged with reaching an agreement on a compromise budget for the remainder of FY14 and the next biennium are in place. Both chambers approved their version of the budget a week ago, and on Wednesday, the plans were rejected by the other chamber, setting the stage for senior budget writers to work through the weekend and early next week to attempt to reconcile differences in the spending plans…

The introduced budget included a $70,000 reduction each year in state funding to Planning District Commissions. The House includes an amendment to restore the funds; the Senate does not include such an amendment.”
