The executive recommendation for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2008-2009 Department of Labor and Economic Growth. This would appropriate $1.362 billion in gross spending, compared to $1.301 billion, which was the FY 2007-2008 amount enrolled in 2007. Of this, $94.3 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2007-2008 amount of $46.0 million. Another $384.9 million is from “restricted funds,” or earmarked tax and fee revenue, compared to $378.8 million the previous year. The balance of the money is federal funds.
