Well, it didn't take long for the Governor to file the first supplemental budget for FY 2010. Normally one of those isn't filed until at least a few months into the fiscal year. This supplemental, according to the Governor, appropriates $269.4 million to "address immediate exposures identified for the upcoming fiscal year."
I guess that makes up for the $147 million in vetoes that the Governor just issued. Most of the dough ($70 million) is to continue funding the state-subsidized universal health care program adopted a couple of years ago under the Romney administration. The program, it turns out, has been more successful in getting the uninsured enrolled than the architects of the program actually thought it would be. I guess that cuts both ways, since the success must be funded.
