Abstract
Of the 192 recommendations, 54 result in no cost savings. An additional 36 of the recommendations result in cost or savings that cannot be estimated. Eight of the recommendations actually cost money. The greatest number of recommendations, 58, appear in the area of General Government Issues. The fewest, with seven each, appear in the areas of Employee Benefits Issues and Natural Resources Issues. Federal approval has not yet been given for the recommended revision to the federal Disproportionate Share Program. The report recommends that incentives should be increased for independent school districts to consolidate. No findings of fraud were identified in this report. Of the recommended savings: $ 1,917.4 million is delays or transfers of revenue; $ 1,125.6 million is increased federal funds; $ 791.8 million is reductions in agency budgets; $ 397.7 million is revenue administration; $ 279.6 million is increased taxes and fees. The Legislative Budget Board Recommendations for the 1994-95 biennium already include $2 billion identified in "Against the Grain". These include the following: $ 578.6 million in delays or transfers of revenue; $ 1,083 million in increased federal funds; $ 367 million in reductions in agency budgets.
