  11. Forecast Assumptions • Good News: • Actions taken with this budget have made a difference. We’re looking much better financially. • Bad News: • We faced a large hole / deficit and still face major challenges even if state funding grows at 10% next biennium. • The economy appears headed towards recession and there’s a very real possibility that state funding will be flat / less than 10% forecasted. We had planned on an increase of $3.5m.
