ATLANTA - The Georgia budget is set to jump through the next hurdle in the state Legislature.
The state Senate Appropriations Committee is expected to approve the spending blueprint at a hearing today. The state's budget woes have sent this year's legislative session into overtime as lawmakers scrambled to fill a $785 million shortfall in the fiscal year that begins July 1.
Senators are under pressure to restore some funding for the Georgia Council for the Arts. A rally at the Capitol on Monday drew some 400 supporters who said arts funding is vital to the state's economy.
