Gov. Bill Hobby, an “alternative budget” will be pre sented. Hobby said the new proposed budget would not include a tax in crease but would include a tuition in crease for college students. Hobby has said he favors a tuition increase for all students. On Jan. 15, Gov. Mark Whitef 1 ' sented his no-new taxes budget ^ $36.1 billion, an increase of SM million over the EBB proposal. Senate leader Ray Farabee It 1 ' said he doesn’t think a one-yearbrf get is inevitable. But added dial 1 continual decrease in revenue would eventually press the Legts lature to one. Asked if the EBB might consider a one-year budget rather than the usual two-years, Hobby replied, “Come and find out, come to the meeting.” The EBB in December approved a two-year budget proposal that would spend $35.8 billion from all funds, including taxes. The EBB document is traditionally used as the preliminary document by both the House and the Senate. State Comptroller Bob Bu whose job is to project the mone' state government has to spend, said he doesn’t see how the Legis lature can stay away from annual sessions to plan and adopt budgets! T he way the system works now, lock must project as far aheadas2li years. Bullock’s most recent revenue es timate was that the Legislate needed an extra $1.1 billion to f nance state services at their currea 1 levels over the next two years. V
