Legislative Emergency Board and Budget Rebalancing December 2002 economic forecast cuts Then-Governor Kitzhaber recently required all state agencies to submit budget cut proposals to fix a statewide budget deficit of $111.8 million General Fund, identified by the December economic forecast.The Governor only has authority to direct across-the-board cuts. Our share of the cut was $28.4 million General Fund. These cuts were not affected by Measure 28.
E-Board action At the November meeting of the Emergency Board, we submitted plans to address our current budget shortfall, as well as our plan to cut our budget in February if the January ballot measure fails.The Emergency Board directed the department to implement a number of those proposed cuts regardless of the outcome of the election, in order to help remedy the department's existing $23 million shortfall this biennium. The E-Board-mandated cuts are indicated on the following charts by yellow shading.
Our original proposals to the Emergency Board The following documents were submitted for the E-Board's consideration.Note: The 2001-2003 budget used the department's previous organizational structure. Most of these documents are in pdf format and print on legal-size paper. Before printing from Adobe Acrobat Reader you may need to select legal size paper and landscape (wide) orientation.
