INDIANAPOLIS - Senate Republicans voted 32-18 Tuesday to pass a nearly $30 billion two-year state budget despite some trepidation over a revenue forecast Friday that could force deep cuts.

The stage is now set for final negotiations with the Democratic-led House and Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels. Legislators have until April 29 to agree on the budget.
