The Governor recommends an All Funds appropriation of $123,305,000, an increase of $5,009,000 for SFY 2004-05. By law, no more than 15 percent of gross lottery sales may be used for administration. |
A Special Revenue-Other Fund increase for fringe benefits, indirect costs and advertising costs accounts for the appropriation increase. |
