Republicans who control the House, Senate and governor’s office say they are nearly $50 million apart in a fiscal 2020 state budget plan that will top $7.6 billion. But they are optimistic they can close that gap in negotiations this month in a way that will fund priorities and help restore some areas particularly hard hit by recent midyear adjustments.
