JFAC agrees to Otter's new wording in labor budget, while insisting no local offices close

The Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee voted this morning to pull back the budget bill for the state Department of Labor, and replace it with an identical one that has different wording in a section of legislative intent that bars the department from closing any of its local offices. The department had suggested that with falling federal funding, it might need to close various local offices in communities across the state.
