Gov. Bill Ritter presented his budget for fiscal year 2010-11 to members of the Joint Budget Committee today.
He is requesting a $7.2 billion General Fund budget for fiscal year 2010-2011, which begins on July 1, 2010. This budget closes a $1 billion shortfall between projected General Fund revenues and expenditures and comes on the heels of a $2 billion shortfall in fiscal year 2009-10.
