Crying "Wolf!"Check out this one-page summary pdf we have posted, showing the total appropriated and non-appropriated funds for five big state government programs: AHCCCS (Medicaid), K-12 Education, Health Services, Economic Security, and Universities. With the exception of K-12 education in FY 2009, none of those departments have actually seen any funding cuts at the state level. And K-12 "suffered" a much-needed reduction of three percent in FY 2009.
