2. Administration and Finance 2 FY2012 There are 3 main drivers that impact the state budget next year: 1. Total Revenue Collections Tax revenue estimate based on collections to-date in FY11 FY12 consensus revenue estimate, based on economic picture ahead for Massachusetts 2. Unavoidable Spending Pressures From year-to-year the state faces increased cost pressure, for liabilities such as pensions and debt service This will require further efforts to control costs and reduce government spending 3. Loss of One-Time/Short-Term Resources FY11 relies on about $2 billion of one-time resources, including $1.5 billion in ARRA-related federal stimulus funding to the Commonwealth that will not exist next fiscal year These resources, while essential in mitigating pressure on safety net programs during the downturn, will not be available to states beginning in FY2012

4. Administration and Finance 4 Since the start of the crisis, the Administration has already solved for deficits totaling nearly $13 billion. We have used a balanced approach of cuts, revenues and rainy day and stimulus funds to close several budget gaps. Over the last several years spending growth has been constrained to reflect available resources. Even though revenues started to grow in fiscal year 2011, revenue collections historically lag the national economic growth and will remain moderate over the next two fiscal years. Because rainy day and federal stimulus funds are running out, our challenge is even greater for fiscal year 2012. Sound Fiscal Management:

6. Administration and Finance 6 National Picture Shared Experience Virtually every state is struggling to balance their budgets as federal stimulus aid ends and pensions and other liabilities add spending pressure to their annual budgets. States are managing through their fiscal challenges through reforms and efficiencies across a number of areas, including: corrections, education, employee costs, shared services, privatization and sales of assets, and tax expenditures. Massachusetts will, similarly, need to continue efforts to reform and innovate as well as control costs and spending in FY2012 and beyond in order to live at projected revenues.
