Senate expected to take up vote on education bills Friday

The Senate budget committee passed both full year education budget bills to the floor, without one word of support for Governor Holden's request for a 90-day appropriation.

The Governor would not speculate about what he'll do if laemakers send him education budgets that are identical to the ones he already vetoed.
