Senate Finance Committee Chairwoman Lorraine Berry announced Wednesday she has canceled budget hearings originally scheduled for Thursday and Friday.
Berry said she wanted to give committee members the opportunity to analyze the direction in which the committee must proceed in consideration of the governor's proposed Fiscal Year 2001 budget.
Next week's budget hearings in St. Croix will still be held as scheduled, according to Kim Boschulte Ramsingh of the Senate Post Auditor's office.
