While I was looking at Agenda 2010 last night, I stumbled upon the following fascinating factoids:
- State government now spends $3 of federal money for every $4 it appropriates through the General Fund. Budgeted state government appropriations from all sources in fiscal year 2010 totaled $49.3 billion.
- The loss of temporary federal funds and temporary taxes by June 30, 2011, will leave desired expenditures $2.8 billion higher than expected revenues.
