Co-Chair Stoltze OBJECTED for discussion. Mr. Armstrong provided a sectional analysis of the capital budget using the spreadsheet "2010 Legislature Capital Budget: Statewide Totals, Senate Structure" (4/13/10; 13:07 by the Legislative Finance Division, copy on file). He explained that the spreadsheet details the difference between the governor's request and the Senate version of the bill. Mr. Armstrong began with Section, noting that earlier in the legislative session the governor had put capital budget money into the supplemental bill. The supplemental portion was put into the Senate version of the capital bill and totaled $118 million. Section 2 is the deferred maintenance portion of the governor's request and was increased by the Senate by roughly $19 million to a total of $124 million. Section 3 is the governor's main request and totals $1.631 million. Section 4 includes the Senate additions to the bill and totals $472,574,000 in general funds. Section 5 is the cruise ship money; the Senate added $20 million cruise ship funds for projects mainly in Southeast Alaska. Section 6 is appropriating language for the education bonds, the Senate's version; he noted that the language would be amended in another version based on what the House passed out the previous day. Section 7 is total spending for the Senate, or $2,771,481.2. Section 8 compares to the governor's request of $1,921,212.0. Mr. Armstrong pointed out that there are also technical corrections that would be addressed in a forthcoming CS. 9:16:14 AM Representative Fairclough asked for more information regarding duplicated funds. Mr. Armstrong replied that he would get the information. Co-Chair Stoltze WITHDREW his OBJECTION. There being NO further OBJECTION, the CS was ADOPTED as a working document. CSSB 230(FIN) was HEARD and HELD in Committee for further consideration.
