FY 2009 Budget through the 9C Cuts

The table below sets forth the total amount of vetoes, overrides, and 9C cuts proposed by the Governor. As you can see, from the original $29.7 billion budget that came out of the Conference Committee report, the Governor vetoed $122 million, or not even 1/2 of a percent. The legislature overrode $56 million, or not not even 1/8th of a percent.
