1.1.1 Operations

The operating appropriation for FY 2002 was $4.606 billion. Here we look in detail at the operating budget—including some debt service that is separately reported in the budget summary, but excluding some items reported in a special "statewide" category: non-debt fund capitalization, supplemental appropriations, and new legislation. (This detail includes duplicated appropriations.)

We can look at where the money was spent in several ways: by department, function, program, fund source, target population, object, appropriation bill, etc.

Here first is a breakdown of appropriations by department, also showing the funding source for the department.

Spending by department doesn't really tell us what state government is doing, so here is a breakdown of the largest "Budget Request Units" (BRU), which sometimes are a single program and other times are the aggregate of several closely related programs. Only the BRU's over $25 million are shown here. The smaller BRU's can be seen here.
