A few legislators had hoped that good news in the report would prime a more harmonious budget process before the session ends Feb. 26. have dashed that hope as well as many plans for expenditures. On paper at least, a preliminary 1986-8- 7 fiscal package shaped by appropriation subcommittees is now from $34 million to $44 million out of balance, depending on which faction you believe.

A third contaminated bottle was found in the county and although a Food and Drug Administration official initially said it contained a trace of cyanide, FDA Commissioner Frank E. Young later said it could be an industrial contaminant that was not proven to be cyanide and was probably not harmful. Four states on Thursday banned the sale of Tylenol capsules.
