Introduced by Sen. Liz Brater (D-18)

The executive recommendation for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2007-2008 Department of Corrections budget. This appropriates $2.001 billion in gross spending, compared to $1.940 billion, which was the FY 2006-2007 amount enrolled in 2006. Of this, $1.932 billion will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2006-2007 amount of $1.858 billion. Note: Gov. Jenifer Granholm’s executive budget recommendations are premised on the legislature adopting a 2 percent tax on services which along with other tax increases and a proposed reduction in business taxes represents a net tax hike of approximately $1 billion.
