Liveblogging joint subcommittee meeting: House budget

We can solve the current budget hole if we hold aside all employee raises, says Brian Allen.

Tom Zidelis says we're down $3.4 million. Today was the hearing for the two home-rule petitions (the City sent a delegation, including eight City Councilors, into the State House for this earlier today). April revenues should be released tomorrow, which will give us more of an idea of how the year is going, and it will give the Senate more of an idea as it moves forward with our budget.
