It is hoped that the content and format are presented in a manner that is useful to members of the House, their constituents and the overall appropriations process. A ten- year appropriation history of each state appropriated agency is included as a final summary for the readers’ review. Each staff member of the Office of Budget and Performance Review is to be commended for making contributions in preparing information for this report, as well as for their professional and dedicated work throughout the 2005 legislative session. Significant contributions to the appropriations process also were made by Mark Harter and Scott Emerson of the Legal Division.
