k-12 education has seen a 14.5% reduction in nominal dollars. that is not trying to show failure to keep up with inflation. it is actual nominal cuts in funding for k-12 of 14.5%. you can see higher education, health and human services, and corrections. they have seen reductions, but nowhere near the magnitude that k-12 education has been subjected to. that is the backdrop for the proposal that the governor has made. it is a good thing that there has been recognition. i think in a lot of respect this has gone undetected or unreported. it really has not received as much attention in the public dialogue. a few more slides that point to the under-funding of schools. this next slide shows three lines over the last several years for the projected versus actual funding per ada. if the state had kept up with a statutory cola, year over year increases in the cost of expenditures, we would have seen an increase from a funding level of 58.21 in 2007 to a protective level for next year of 64.93. that reflects what you would normally hope to see in a typical

because when it comes to your iras and your 401(k)s, remember, that money has not yet been taxed. that's like a big juicy steak to our hungry, insatiable government. it's about the taxes. it's about how much you keep at the end of the game, managing the taxes, managing those accounts that have not yet been taxed. that's what this is all about. government is broke. our businesses are broke. it's all up to you to create your own plan to manage those taxes. see, it comes down to this: really, i don't want to sound antitax or antigovernment or anything like that. i'm more in the arthur godfrey school. here's what i mean. arthur godfrey, you remember him? a famous entertainer? he had a great saying. he says: that's what i'm talking about. there's no reason to pay more in taxes than you have to or pay sooner than you have to. that's what we need to address. that's why we need a plan-- our plan, not the government's plan. see, the way it works with taxes-- with an ira, a 401(k)-- that money has not yet been taxed, so here's the way it works. an ira, like a baby, is born with a twin broth

the a k forty seven has a few moving parts so it doesn't jam resistant to cold heats rain and snow it can lie buried in sand for years and still be ready to use if you just clean it up a bit in the central russian republic of a year as in the rest of the country members of the special operations units of the ministry of internal affairs rely almost exclusively on kalashnikovs and not just because they're made in the capital. many of them use the a.k. in anti terror operations in chechnya. when you're in combat it's very important that a rifle be easy to use and careful especially in the caucasus which i'd say it's the best weapon there is and deserves very high praise. but there's a risk isn't just the city that produces the world's most popular weapon it's also a stronghold of defense manufacturing and innovative technologies. is the leading producer of unmanned aerial vehicles in russia because they're hard to spot easy to use and can fly over places where humans cannot or should not set food rushes ministries of defense and emergencies and anti terrorist center are so. all of us al

that has been calculated as being scored are tabulated for k-12, which is 1.67%. that is not proposed to be funded for next year. even in his scenario, which would protect education funding, there would be no cost- of-living adjustment. the biggest point is that the protection from the cuts requires those revenues to materialize. there is about $2 billion of revenues of that $12 billion i mentioned before that are linked to k-12 education. in order for those to occur and to be made available, at two things would have to happen. one is that the legislature would have to agree by a two- thirds vote in both houses to place on the june special election an extension of those temporary increases in revenues. if that were to happen, a majority of voters would need to approve the ballot measure. so that is a major question for all school districts in the state, and because we do not know whether those revenues will materialize, we and other school districts have to plan for two specific scenarios. one scenario is the more hopeful scenario, which is that tax increases woul

k over the next 5-10 years. so we came up with a programming capacity of about $412 million for fiscal years 2010-2011 and 2009-2010. of that $412 million, only $288 million has come in and been allocated. in other words, eligible departments have left $123 million of prop k capacity on the table. so, our allocation records so far on average is about 70% of our capacity. i am not sure how much more to say about this right now, but my initial conclusion is that we may be looking at perhaps a delay in the date when we need to issue debt because of this dynamic. a couple of final things. a very, very important announcement, commissioners. the president's draft budget, which was released yesterday essentially on the transportation side includes $30 million for the bus rapid transit project. that is a very nice a lot of money, a great piece of news. it includes $200 million for the central subway, which is another excellent piece of news. the budget needs to go through congress, but the fact that the administration has put this much financial clout behind the projects is a clear indication of how important they are to the administration. we are looking forward to
