2009-11 Governor's Recommended Budget

Despite facing the most challenging budget situation in decades, Governor Perdue's budget increases per-pupil spending, invests in job creation and protects public safety through probation, mental health and anti-gang initiatives.

"I am stepping up to the plate to help our citizens when they need it the most," Gov. Perdue said. "Despite our nation's tough economic situation, I stand ready to strengthen our middle class, improve public education and public safety, and ensure that government works smart for our citizens."

The budget closes a $6.4 billion cumulative gap and reduces spending by $2.6 billion over the next two years. It also utilizes $2.9 billion of federal recovery funds to support critical services and recommends a $1.3 billion revenue tax change for tobacco products and alcohol.

Gov. Perdue stresses recurring savings rather than one-time actions, asks agency heads to take a targeted approach to identify reductions, and eliminates or reduces 20 programs that are inefficient, duplicative or costly.
