House approves 2 budget bills, delays 2 more

But lawmakers again delayed action on two key measures for this year's deficit amid concerns about taking on debt.

The House voted 54-3 to raise $22 million in the next fiscal year by raising taxes on non-Arizonans who earn some of their income here.

The House also voted 40-17 to extend the lottery until 2035, a measure required so the state can borrow against future lottery earnings to fill current budget gaps. But lawmakers didn't vote on a separate bill that would authorize such borrowing to raise $450 million along with $300 million from selling and leasing back state buildings.

The Senate last week approved the bills to close $1.2 billion of the state's $1.5 billion deficit.
