We’ve worked through the Senate W&M Chair’s (and Ranking Member’s) 2011-13 budget proposal, and the resulting brief with the details is available here.  It includes comparisons to the House-passed budget, on which we also have a brief.

The Senate W&M Chair’s proposal addresses the $5 billion plus shortfall in many of the same ways the House did last week.  Notably, however, it does not include the liquor distribution privatization proposal, which the House used to address $300 million of the shortfall.  Instead, the Senate W&M Chair’s proposal reduces spending by $326.7 million more than the House.
