state budget

Public fiscal blueprint

A state budget is the financial plan of a state government, detailing projected revenues and expenditures for a fiscal year.

It allocates funds across agencies, programs, and services like education, transportation, and public safety.

State budgets must typically be balanced, unlike federal budgets, meaning anticipated spending cannot exceed expected income.

The budget process usually involves the governor proposing a plan that the legislature debates, amends, and ultimately approves.

The state budget includes a significant increase for infrastructure repairs.
