Budget Resources

The Governor's Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 budget proposal level funds much of state government, includes some targeted initiatives - including an expanded earned income tax credit (EITC) and new services for people struggling with and recovering from mental illness - and proposes small reductions in funding, after accounting for inflation, for higher education and other areas.

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 budget year could be the most eventful in decades, with major changes in federal policy looming and ballot questions that could reshape state tax policy likely to appear on the November ballot. This year’s budget will be written in a climate of uncertainty, and against a backdrop of ongoing fiscal challenges.
