Billion Dollar Mark
Recommendations for appropriations
from the general fund
passed the billion dollar mark,
with $1,346,276,763 asked for
such areas as mental health, public
health and welfare, and administration
of other state agencies.
These exceed the current appropriation
by $260 million.
Special fund requests also exceed
a billion dollars, with the
Governor asking for spending
amounting to $1,718,781,380, up
$355 million from current appropriations.
This money, from
earmarked funds, federal grants
and special fees, goes to public
and higher education, as well as
various state agencies.
