Fiscal Detail and Notes
This resolve is intended to reduce state spending by approximately $1,000,000 annually from the elimination of positions filled by political appointment.  This fiscal note assumes that the legislature will respond to the Governor's October 1, 2006 recommendation with legislation implementing the position eliminations in time to achieve the savings in fiscal year 2007-08.  The impact on programs and services from the loss of the positions cannot be determined at this time and it is not known which departments will be reduced.
