On May 6, the State Senate adjourned and won’t return to work until June 1. That leaves 30 days to finalize a budget. At least 1,700 people lost their jobs due to last year’s delayed budget, and non-profits and local governments were expected to pay millions of dollars in debt service. Let’s not repeat last year’s mistakes.  Please take a few minutes to write your state senator, asking them to approve the governor’s budget.   To begin, fill out your name and address on this page and click “start writing” to begin writing your letter. There you will see a pre-written email for you to send – but you can change the wording to reflect your own personal opinions. Emails with your own personal thoughts are the most effective https://actionnetwork.org/letters/please-pass-the-state-budget-by-june-30th
