DOVER, Del. (AP) - Members of the General Assembly's budget-writing committee are set to begin hearings and discussion on Gov. Jack Markell's proposed $3.9 billion operating budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
The Joint Finance Committee was to convene Tuesday to begin a monthlong series of hearings on individual agency budget requests.
The committee was to begin its work with an overview of state revenues and Markell's budget proposal, followed by individual agency hearings for the state budget office and the Delaware National Guard.
Members of the Legislature's capital budget committee will hold a series of separate hearings early next month on Markell's proposed $347 million spending plan for construction and road projects.
