Budget Update: Sen. Russell Pearce fails to deliver Republican votes in his Senate Appropriations Committee

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

The man who would be king of Arizona (if not for the inconvenience of those pesky elections) failed to deliver the necessary Republican votes today in his Senate Appropriations Committee on the first of a package of 12 "feed" bills for the compromise budget deal between the Accidental Governor and her GOP insane clown possee leadership. Arizona budget deal takes a step backward:

A tenuous budget deal between Gov. Jan Brewer and GOP legislative leaders took a step backward Monday 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.
