Under the budget plan adopted by the legislature, appropriated expenditures will just about balance against projected revenues. Foundation analysts warn, however, that the financial problems that have plagued the state during the past two years could return if Utahs economy continues to deteriorate. Total appropriations authorized by the legislature for the fiscal year totaled $2,765 billion. A substantial portion of these expenditures will come from restricted funds, such as federal aid, department collections, bond proceeds, local taxes for the minimum school program, and special taxes and fees earmarked for special purposes. activities Utahs are financed mainly from general fund and uniform school fund receipts.

Many of the vacated positions eventually may be filled by new employees. The plan could create a staffing problem for school districts and other agencies next year if a large percentage of the employees decided to take advantage of this option. Since this early retirement option is available for only a period this year, it may be viewed as unfair and discriminatory by those who retired in the past or who will retire in the future.
