Santo Domingo.- The Senate declared it urgent and approved the bill of the 2008 Budget of RD$300.9 billion, with an adendum submitted by president Leonel Fernandez with the previously agreed changes.

The bill was approved with 25 votes in favor, including one of the senators of the oppositoin PRSC party, and two against: those of PRD party spokesman Roberto Rodriguez and his colleague Mario Torres.

The legislation will return to the Chamber of Deputies, who’ll session next week, when they’re expected to approve it without changes.

While listening to the JCE crying about the reduction in their budget, I couldn't help but notice that they have put out tenders to buy 10 new luxury SUVs.
