The Louisiana House has granted final legislative passage to a $39 billion state operating budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1. The vote to accept various Senate changes to the bill was 88-7. The House vote came despite complaints from some lawmakers that they had too little time to review the budget just a day after it was quickly adopted in the Senate, and there were gripes that a $1,500 teacher pay raise was too little. Gov. John Bel Edwards gets the measure next.
