The $33.65 billion budget aims to address a projected $825 million revenue shortfall while boosting public education. Stein calls for the rollback of tax cuts, while Republicans oppose the reduction in school vouchers, which benefit 80,000 students. The proposal reflects a significant shift in state fiscal and educational policy.
