• Passed in the House (106 to 0) on October 8, 2003, the House version of a Fiscal Year (FY) 2003-2004 Capital Outlay budget. (Note: Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s proposed a capital outlay budget in House Bill 4411 .)This appropriates $571.0 million in adjusted gross spending. Of this, $281.3 million will come from the General Fund (funded by actual state tax revenues). Most of the money is used to service the bonded indebtedness on earlier state construction projects. Some $200 million is for airport safety and protection, and $148 million of this is federal money.
