CONCORD (AP) House lawmakers on Wednesday approved a $13.5 billion budget package that Republicans portrayed as responsible “belt tightening” during a pandemic and Democrats criticized as harmful to those who’ve struggled most over the last year.
The two-year proposal that now goes to the Senate includes $5.4 billion in state general funds and education trust fund money, which is 1.4% less than allocated in the current budget.
Democrats objected to the elimination of 226 jobs in the Department of Health and Human Services and a $50 million cut to that agency’s funding. Rep. Sharon Nordgren, D-Hanover, said the cut could result in the loss of federal money.
