Governor Unallotment Plans Will Start to Go into Effect July 1July 1 marks the start of Fiscal Year 2010, and the first day when the Governor's unallotment plans can start to go into effect. When the 2009 Legislative Session ended on May 18, the state was still left with a $2.7 billion deficit for the next biennium. Governor Pawlenty has made an unprecedented announcement of his plan for solving that remaining deficit through unallotment. His plan includes a $1.8 billion in payment shifts to K-12 schools. There would be a $100 million cut to higher education (this is on top of $40 million cuts in December 2008, through unallotment). Aid to cities and counties and will also see cuts. The Renters' Credit, which provides a tax refund to nearly 274,000 low- and moderate-income Minnesota households whose property taxes make up a large share of their incomes, will be cut by $51 million, or a 27% cut.

Advocates, community leaders, front-line staff and members of the public will all benefit from understanding how the federal budget process works - and how to participate in that process on behalf of the programs they care about and the people they serve. Learn all of this and more at the Follow the Federal Dollars workshop, led by Steve Francisco, Federal Policy Director for the Minnesota Budget Project. The workshop will be held on Tuesday, July 28 at the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits.
