02/16/11 | State Budget Update: Budget Repair Bill and 2011-13 Biennial Budget Deficit Detailed

The Walker Administration is expected to release late this week its plan for eliminating an estimated $136.7 million revenue shortfall in the state budget that expires June 30. Legislative Republicans are to be briefed on the plan Thursday. According to a memo released by Gov. Walker’s office on Monday, the state expects to have $121.4 million available through June 30, with $258 million in revenue shortfalls. The memo appears to use all of the anticipated revenues to offset the deficit, leaving the state $136.7 million short for the fiscal year.
