4. State Mid-Year Budget Reductions • Although the Legislature Adopted the 2008-09 State Budget, it is considered a “get out of town budget” before the election. The State recognized the revenues were not sufficient to sustain the Adopted Budget and have begun an Emergency Session to adjust the 2008-09 State Budget. Therefore, all state revenues are subject to a Mid-Year reduction possibility. • Although the Governor has proposed adjustments to the State budget, final actions have not been taken to solve the budget crisis or agreement on which programs will be affected.
