The state budget work continues in Tallahassee.
The joint Senate-House committees working on the spending plan traded offers Monday as the two-week special legislative session hit its midpoint.
But there is still plenty of argument over some of the toughest issues, such as a sales tax holiday for shoppers, college tuition and partial funding of a teacher's career ladder.
Legislative leaders hope to knock out a compromise budget by the end of the week and then vote on a spending plan next Tuesday.
With the start of the new fiscal year beginning July 1st, lawmakers don't have a lot of time to reach consensus on the budget.
