On Tuesday, March 30 the State Senate held a floor debate on the senate’s proposed capital or “construction budget”, which totals up to 6.2 billion dollars for the 2021-2023 biennium. The capital budget pays for the construction and maintenance of public buildings, like k-12 public schools, colleges, correctional facilities, state agency buildings, fish hatcheries, state hospitals and much more. The budget also acquires lands for the state, and funds infrastructure like broadband. Much of the money for the capital budget comes from the sale of state bonds.
