Mission Statement

Building upon the 1991-92 realignment, the Governor's Budget endeavors to realign additional programs adhering to one or more of the following principles:

  • Assignment of program responsibility should be made to the most appropriate level of government-State or local.
  • Realignment should result in improved service delivery, with broad discretion given to the responsible entity.

The funding sources for realignment are:

  • The continuation of a 1 percent increase on Sales Tax.
  • The continuation of the temporary Vehicle License Fee.

These changes will be effectuated through a combination of legislation and subject to voter approval.
