The full Senate approved its version of the state budget on Friday. This budget includes $300,000 for the Archives. This is still considerably lower than the amount requested by University System of Georgia Chancellor Hank Huckaby, but almost $76,000 more than in the House version.
Of course, Archives supporters would prefer the Senate version.
I know many of you are weary of this struggle and weary of requests that you contact your legislators. You will be relieved to know that this will be the last request for this session.
A House-Senate conference committee will meet soon to reconcile the two budgets. Following is a list of conferees you can contact to support the Senate budget.
