BATON ROUGE - Sunday, the Senate Committee on Finance approved a spending plan that included $300 million to be used for the new bridge.

Teachers will also get a $1,500 pay raise, which is $500 less than the Governor wanted.

The budget now moves to the Senate floor for a vote later in the week. If it is passed, it will move to the House then to Governor Edward's desk.
