Deal breaks impasse on using state’s rainy-day money

 AUSTIN — Three of the state’s top Republican leaders broke an impasse over spending rainy-day money Tuesday, agreeing to spend one-third of the $9.4 billion available — but no more.
Gov. Rick Perry approved using up to $3.2 billion of savings to cover the current year’s deficit, issuing a joint statement with Comptroller Susan Combs and House Speaker Joe Straus, R-San Antonio.
