Questions• Approximately 20% of changes in health and
human services were program reductions or eliminations and eligibility changes– How many people are no longer receiving services
(regardless of the source) that were receiving them before?
– What is the impact of those changes short-term and long-term.
• Approximately 60% of the changes involved reductions to provider payments (including DSH and other reductions). – What has been the response from the non-profit and
philanthropic community to these changes?

What about the next biennium?

Revenue Risk Points
• Additional $26 million in potential ‘loss’ associated with other changes– NOL changes - $1m to $10 million threshold change
• Loss credits for corporate taxes (BPT/BET)• Another national/international issue (Europe?)• Lawsuits MET and Use of DSH for general
fund• Long term revenue forecast models are
imprecise at inflection points, often leading to conservative revenue estimates

Questions• Questions about the role/scope/goals of state
government remain. • In an era of constrained resources, have we
allocated our resources in a way that maximizes the benefit to the state (as defined above)?– Economic (infrastructure, etc…) vs. Safety Net
• Are there revenues on the table (e.g. gambling)? – Short term (limited, even in the case of gambling)
