State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli released his conclusion on this year’s State Budget, which came to a total $254 billion, a 5.2% increase in spending. DiNapoli questioned the increase in spending when federal actions on funding to states could decrease revenues, and that could lead to a shortfall before the end of the fiscal year. The biggest items in the budget were 37.4 Billion dollars for schools & 109.6 billion for Medicaid in the Department of Health’s budget. All Funds revenues are projected to total $248.9 billion, nearly the same as last year, tax collections are projected to decrease by less than 1% to $117 billion.
