Budget Monitor: The Governor's FY 2009 Budget Vetoes
On Sunday, July 13th, the Governor signed the Fiscal Year 2009 state budget, and used his line item veto authority to reduce the total spending amount by $122.5 million. Because some of the vetoed spending would have generated revenue (for example, the state receives federal revenue to reimburse a portion of Medicaid spending), the vetoes achieved $93.6 million in net state savings.
