Santa Fe, NM - Today the Senate adopted all of the budget bills crafted by the House during the past week without significant debate.

GǣThe past three days have been time well spent,Gǥ said House Majority Leader Nate Gentry. GǣBy taking a more deliberative approach, we were able to identify more cash balances to sweep, we reversed Senate cuts to CYFD and DPS, and reduced cuts to K-12 classroom funding without raising taxes. While this package isn't perfect, it's fair. Now isn't the time for brinksmanship, and I'm pleased we were able to get the job done."

Both chambers adjourned sine die concluding the special session.
