Budget-Balancing Reductions
  • The Budget includes General Fund reductions of $6.265 million and 3.0 positions in 2008-09.

  • The major budget balancing reductions include:

    A $2.5 million General Fund reduction in the Multipurpose Senior Services Program. This will result in 1,179 client slots being reduced through attrition.

    A $1.5 million General Fund reduction in the Senior Community Services Employment Program. This reduction will have minimal impact upon the program due to the recent federal minimum wage increase which has resulted in a higher federal allocation to the state and an accompanying reduction in the state's required share of minimum wage.
