Arizona Lawmakers' budget work goes down to the wire

From Forbes:

PHOENIX -- Arizona's budget battle is going down to the wire, with an intraparty struggle between Republican Gov. Jan Brewer and the GOP-led Legislature creating the possibility of a state government shutdown starting Wednesday.

Lawmakers on Monday resumed consideration of a proposed last-minute compromise with Brewer, but many Republican lawmakers were resisting Brewer's proposed sales tax increase to help close the state's massive revenue shortfall.

Instead, some powerful GOP legislators were pushing for tax cuts - to the unease of colleagues. And there's continuing debate over spending cuts and proposed raids on money usually shared with local government.
