Aiming at a moving target
I posted an entry this morning that compared the mid-year budget cuts being absorbed by each of the ten largest state agencies. Unfortunately, the post – which I’ve now deleted - included outdated information regarding funding for the Departments of Transportation and Common Education. In particular, I was unaware of a bill (HB 2433) that imposed a 7.5 percent cut to ODOT’s appropriation from the State Transportation Fund, and of some additional funding decisions (included in HB 2352) that aim to restore a greater part of the funding cuts to the Department of Education than initially announced. I will re-examine this and post revised numbers once FY ’10 appropriations bill have made it through the process. I apologize for the error and any confusion or inconvenience it may have caused.
