JACKSON - The Mississippi Senate, by a 26-24 margin, voted Wednesday to invite negotiations with the House on how to deal with $437 million in budget cuts made by Gov. Haley Barbour this fiscal year.

The House had voted to take $100 million from about $500 million in reserve funds to restore some of those cuts, particularly in the area of education.

Senate Democrats had wanted to send the proposal directly to Barbour.

They said they fear that Senate leaders will want to restore significantly less of the cuts than the $100 million in the House proposal.
