Introduction State Budget Because of the $3.6 billion deficit entering the budget cycle it was an extremely difficult process We relied heavily on $2 billion in stimulus money from the federal government Previous Administration postponed making difficult decisions We had to make difficult choices and limited options– just like you Raise revenue (ie taxes) Cut Spending Return to one time fixes Raising revenue in this economy was not an option
Additional Challenges In addition to the budget deficit we faced these carry over “IOUs”: Repay $234 million that was raided from the Patients Compensation Fund (court ordered repayment) Overdue $65 million in reciprocity payments to Minnesota The previous Administration used much of the federal stimulus money to backfill K-12 education in the previous budget A weak economy and revenues made the task of balancing the budget extremely difficult

Tax and Fee Changes in Budget Repair Bill and Budget Prior to passage of the budget the legislature cut General Fund (GPR) taxes by $55.2m this year and $62.0m next year. Thus the Budget Repair and Budget combined to produce net GPR tax and fee cuts of $140.8m. There were 25 tax and 15 fee changes in the budget. Only 12 had a biennial impact, up or down, or more than $1m and a majority of those were fee changes. The bulk of fee increases ($111.4m) comes from a 5.5% UW tuition increase. It should be noted that the budget actually capped the increase at the 5.5% rate which was already approved by the Board of Regents. It is the first time we have capped tuition in the budget.
