PHOENIX (CBS5) -
Gov. Jan Brewer is pushing the Arizona Board of Regents to support her budget and Medicaid plan.
More than $58 million would be slotted to Arizona's universities.
On Thursday, the regents passed a resolution endorsing the governor's recommendations.

Brewer said the Medicaid proposal will bring $1.6 billion to the state in federal matched funds.
The governor said if Arizona doesn't support the Medicaid plan, the money will go to another state.
