Despite No Contraceptives in CHIP, Budget Passes Out of Committee

Helena-Legislators began hammering out the details of a weekend budget compromise in committee on Monday. Republicans will get a budget that spends less than the House plan originally suggested. Democrats will have more ongoing state support for K through 12 education and have the Children's Health Insurance Program implemented as voters intended. However legislative news reporter Natalie Neumann found out some lawmakers are unsatisfied that the compromise removes CHIP funding for contraceptives.
