More Proof this is no $27.4 Billion Budget

A couple of days ago I reported that this budget is actually more like a $30.3 billion budget than the $27.4 billion budget reported in the media. Now I have more proof from the Governor himself. The Governor has been updating his own website with not only his revised budget -- revised in light of the declining revenues -- but has also been keeping up a spreadsheet that compares the appropriation amounts from the various versions of the budget. This spreadsheet -- "fy10compare" -- documents the fact that even without the federal grants, the Conference report is actually $27.8 billion and not $27.4 billion. If you add in the 447 federal grants, the budget total, as previously reported, is actually just shy of $30.3 billion.
