Assembly passes state budget, heads to Senate

The state Assembly has passed the state budget on a 55-42 vote. The vote came abruptly on Wednesday after Democrats surprisingly decided against offering any amendments. Democratic Minority Leader Peter Barca says Republicans were clear no changes would be made, so Democrats instead were going to take their opposition directly to the public.

LONDON (AP) -

The Church of England's governing body has narrowly blocked a move to permit women to serve as bishops.
