Democrats in the House expect the state will bring in about 33-point seven billion dollars this year.  That's about 200-million dollars shy of what the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability anticipates.  Representative John Bradley says the situation is very similar to last year when the legislature passed a budget with numbers lower than COGFA estimates.  He says he'd rather err on the side of caution than project more than they actually have.  When it comes to paying down the six billion dollar backlog of bills, Bradley says he'd support a plan to take money off the top.  He understands that will put more pressure on pensions, Medicaid, and general operations but he says paying down the bills is a high priority.
