Fiscal Detail and Notes
This resolve includes a General Fund appropriation to the Maine Indian Tribal-State Commission of $5,070 in fiscal years 2007-08 and 2008-09 to provide administrative and staffing support for the Tribal-State Work Group.  It also includes a General Fund appropriation to the Legislature of $10,600 in fiscal years 2007-08 and 2008-09 for the per diem and other expenses for six meetings of the work group.  The General Fund appropriation in fiscal year 2008-09 is not necessary and can be removed from the bill because the Tribal-State Work Group must complete its work and submit a report by January 2, 2008.  Also, the General Fund appropriation to the Legislature in fiscal year 2007-08 of $10,600 should be increased to $10,830 to more accurately reflect the estimated costs.  If adjusted as suggested here, the total cost would be $15,900 for one year only.
