Senate may peel back some spending -- unless Combs saves the day

Senate GOP leaders appear to be trying to solidify Republican support for the two-year state budget by possibly getting rid of the rainy-day dollars in the bill that are causing heartburn for at least a couple of GOP senators. They might be able to partially offset that $3 billion loss by squeezing another $800 million of rainy-day money into a House-passed "supplemental" spending bill that already taps $3.1 billion of the state's savings account.
