The Fono returned the final fiscal year 2021 budget to Gov. Lolo Matalasi Moliga and adjourned the special session.
However, no changes were made to the budget.
Gov. Lolos was unhappy with the $6.50 million in budget cuts and called the special session to reconsider the budget.
The Fono convened in a joint session on Monday and reached a majority vote for no changes to be made to the budget passed last week.
The budget was sent back to the governor.
This time it was accompanied by a letter of explanation from Senate President Gaoteote Palaie Tofau and House Speaker Savali Talavou Ale.
