HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A state budget that calls for big spending increases for science and technology at the University of Connecticut and expands gambling to bring in more revenue cleared the House of Representatives on Sunday and now heads to the Senate just days before the 2013 legislative session ends.

The deal between Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and majority Democrats shifts about $6 billion in mostly health care spending for the poor from under the state’s constitutional spending cap. It does not include large-scale tax increases such as those in the budget that passed two years ago, but minority Republicans still found fault.
