Still, the calendar demands a new budget be put in place for the fiscal year that begins July 1. On Tuesday the Senate Ways and Means Committee put forth its proposal, which the full Senate will take up next week. Reporter Steve Brown joined WBUR's All Things Considered from the State House to discuss the plan.
