Brief Description

This report describes the deficits that have occurred in the state budget each year since 1999 and how the state has had to use 90% of its reserve funds to cover those deficits. It presents charts that show the increases in the state's General Fund spending and revenues since 1979 and how the school aid distributed from the Education Trust Fund has added to total state responsibility.
