NOTES

The governor's original budget plan is balanced on the basis of tax increases and other revenue enhancement proposals that would raise $520 for nine months of FY 2005. He has not submitted a budget plan that would be balanced under his January estimate for FY 2005 revenue. See the governor's revenue proposals for details.
In May 2004, the administration and legislative appropriations staff issued new revenue estimates that were sufficiently higher to cover both the governor's and the legislature's versions of the budget without tax increases.
The 2004 appropriation is what the legislature approved and the governor signed. It does not reflect the subsequent budget withholdings by the governor.
ALL FUNDS includes state taxes, federal funds, gambling revenue, ear-marked taxes and fees.
GENERAL REVENUE covers only those funds which the legislature is free to appropriate as it wishes. Some agencies (such as the departments of Transportation, Conservation and Insurance) receive little or no General Revenue. These agencies are funded totally or almost totally from ear-marked taxes and fees.
For Higher Education, the total funds revenue figure does not include outside funds the universities raise from fees, federal funds, tuition, etc.
Unlike prior years, tax refunds are not included in the Revenue Department budget. As a result, it is not possible to make comparisons between this table and MDN's budget tables in prior years.
Employee benefits covers health insurance, retirement and unemployment compensation benefits for some, but not all employees. Some agencies have separate compensation plans for their workers that are not covered by a statewide benefit program. In prior years, employee benefits had been included in the Office of Administration budget.
