This appropriates $3.007 billion in unadjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars), compared to $2.914 billion, which was the FY 2005-2006 amount enrolled in 2005. Of this, $645.7 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2005-2006 amount of $596.7 million. Another $1.664 billion is from "restricted funds," or earmarked tax and fee revenue. $1.114 billion of this budget is paid out in revenue sharing to local governments.
