Special Session Update: Sen. Jack Harper will trade his vote to stick it to Tucson; will Sen. Al Melvin and Sen. Jonathan Paton betray Tucson and its business community?

Hiccup: Senate committee rejects feed bill, deals budget setback

A tenuous budget deal between Gov. Jan Brewer and GOP legislative leaders took a step backward this morning, with the Senate Appropriations Committee rejecting a key portion of the plan.
The feed bill, Senate Bill 1470, failed in the committee on a 4-4 vote (a majority vote is necessary for passage). Republican Sens. Ron Gould, Jack Harper and Steve Pierce joined with Democratic Sen. Paula Aboud to oppose the measure, the first in a series of bills that make up the budget package for fiscal 2010.
Following the vote, Sen. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, immediately recessed the committee. Moments later, the committee reconvened to ...
