| Legislature Approves
Increase in State Spending of 3.5% When the budget-adjusting
short session began in May, legislators
repeatedly warned that a there would be
no new money available to appropriate in
the fiscal year that began July 1. But as
the final budget below shows, lawmakers
raised state spending by about $477
million, or roughly 3.5 percent over the
amount set when the General Assembly
adopted the biennial budget a year ago.
The state was set to spend about $13.558
billion this fiscal year. The House
approved budget revisions that would
raise that amount by about $443 million.
The Senate adopted a plan to raise
spending by about $455 million. The
House-Senate conference committee
resolved the differences by recommending
spending increases of $477 million.
