Budget Standoff Continues Into Seventh Day

(Providence, RI)  --  A standoff between the legislative leaders over the state budget is moving into a seventh day.  House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello says the only way the state budget will be approved is if the Senate returns and removes a provision he doesn't like.  The budget passed by the Senate would put a hold on Mattiello's proposed six-year car tax phase-out if revenues aren't there to support it in the future.  Mattiello claims he was blindsided by the last minute amendment by the Senate.
