Bill Moyers State Budget Shortfall Map --
Budget figures for 2003 come from the recent survey by the National Conference of State Legislatures, published in November 2002. They reflect the revenue and expenditure situation through the early months of FY 2003 — which included budget reductions already made to meet shortfalls. This survey showed that half the states are facing gaps in their fiscal year (FY) 2003 budgets. Two-thirds of states reported that revenues are failing to meet projected levels. More than half the states report that expenditures are exceeding budgeted levels.
