The state’s longest-serving senator specifically said cuts to higher eduation and health services including the budget wouldn’t stand.

Buckley began her speech by praising Senate Majority Leader Bill Raggio (R-Reno) whom she credited for working with her on a plan to meet a budget shortfall she estimated at more than $250 million.
