Senate Bill 19, as passed by the legislature, contained operating and                                                           
capital appropriations for Fiscal Year 2020, totaling $1.242 billion.                                                           
The capital budget totals $1.202 billion, including $58.4 million in                                                            
general funds. Through line-item vetoes, I have reduced the operating                                                           
and capital appropriations in SB 19 by $10.6 million.                                                                           
                                                                                                                                
Unfortunately, the capital budget I received back from the legislature                                                          
lacked the support needed to fully fund projects and programs critical
