Budget passes Assembly, headed for governor's desk Monday morning

On Friday night the State Assembly passed the budget, unchanged from the conference committee and Senate version, 51-46. (Democrats Bob Ziegelbauer and Peggy Krusick voted against, while independent Jeff Wood voted for; republicans Pat Strachota and Don Friske were absent.)

The governor is expected to sign the budget on Monday at 11 a.m. at the governor's residence.
