NOTES

* See FY2009 and FY2010 Appropriations Chairmen's Budget Options, page i-ii.

** Chairmen's Options for agency lump sum reductions range from <1% to 10% in FY09.
Appropriations Democrats reduce all agencies by 2%, except those that were less than 2% in
Chairmen's Options, which are held at the Chairmen's level.

*** In lieu of salary reductions, the Democrats suggest increased health care contributions.
Specific savings generated as a result are to be determined, but estimated here at $2 million.

**** See attached list for detail.

***** Appropriations Democrats assume fund transfers identified in Chairmen's Options, plus
those in Governor's budget not identified by Chairmen.

****** Conservative estimate; additional funds will further offset FY09 shortfall.
