The primer traces $8.56 billion in current year taxes, $7.2 billion in general fund appropriations, and large shares to K-12, Medicaid, higher education, and local aid. It notes growth since 1988, shifts in shares toward combined state operations and aid to individuals, and inflation-adjusted trends.
