  7. Governor’s Recommendation

  8. Closing Summary: The governor’s spending proposals for FY 2014 and FY 2015 can be financed by drawing down the state’s bank account, but are not sustainable in the future. The state’s revenue stream does not support current spending patterns or allow for new investments. Lawmakers will be required to make hard decisions to balance revenue and spending.
