Gov. Linda Lingle is scheduled to testify tomorrow morning before the Senate Ways and Means Committee on the administration's proposed budget plan to close the latest $255 million revenue shortfall projected by the Council on Revenues.

The meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. at the state Capitol conference room 211.

According to Lingle's administration, her current plan balances the budget without general tax increases, without layoffs or furloughs of state employees, without making further cuts to public services or programs, and without taking any money from the counties, such as the Transient Accommodations Tax or Honolulu County's general excise rail transit tax. The plan also focuses on ensuring a positive general fund balance of approximately $160 million at the end of fiscal year 2011, according to the administration.
