JLBC Budget Status Update
Last Thursday, the Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) released a state budget status update based upon actual revenues through April as well as economic projections. JLBC estimates a shortfall in FY ’11 of $368 million, which would increase to $835 million if November’s ballot measures authorizing use of First Things First and Growing Smarter Trust Land funds fail. These figures take into account revenues from Proposition 100. If Congress does not extend a promised enhanced federal match for AHCCCS, the state’s Medicaid program, the shortfall could increase to $1.2 billion.
