Representative Guy Vander Linden tells KNIA/KRLS News that the only part of the state’s budget that has been decided is the overall size of what will be spent, which he says is nearly seven billion dollars. Vander Linden adds that the hard part is still ahead with all of the budget subcommittees meeting to debate where exactly the money will be spent. Vander Linden says it’s a complex process, with a lot of people with conflicting ideas, negotiating the spending.
