Finished appropriations hearings. Probably $500,000,000 in additional requests, but very limited money available in the 2nd half of the biennum. Plus, drop in price of oil will probably drop the expected revenues by $100,000,000 to $150,000,000 for rest of biennum. Result, not really much of surplus, and about $50,000,000 of previous commitments that have to be met. Will be a session where we will have to prioritize and make good decisions. Session starts 2 weeks from tomorrow.
