BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — House Republicans were at odds Tuesday over a bipartisan budget proposal that contains $329 million in cuts to tax break programs that largely benefit businesses, a compromise that has GOP lawmakers clashing with their governor, state party and traditional allies.

The divide within GOP ranks threatens to sink the House budget compromise, unless a bloc of conservative Republicans called the “fiscal hawks” that has been negotiating the budget deal with Democrats can hold its coalition together.
