The Arizona Legislature introduced a package of 10 budget bills on Monday afternoon, the President's Day holiday, with hearings set in both Senate and Appropriations committees at 8AM today. News reports summarize the major differences between these and the Governor's budget plan that was released in January. The AZGS budget appears to be the same in both sets of proposals.

Anything in the budget to re-establish the Mining and Mineral Museum? I keep hoping. The State could save a lot of money by not building the Centennial Museum and by restoring the mineral and mining collections. It would be a great to have the museum back as an educational resource and for tourism.
