53 Th Burlington (Vt.) FrM Press, Tuesday, November 28, 1 989 Births Vermont's budget crisis bears remedial examination some drastic action will be 'necessary to balance the budget in the fiscal year that begins Jury 1, known as fiscal year 1991. What about the state's rainy day fund? About $10 million has been set aside from recent surpluses to cover future deficits. The law says that should the state end a fiscal year with an operating loss, money to cover the loss would automatically be transferred from the rainy day fund, also known 83 the contingency fund. Menson says the transfer would be done before the books are closed on the fiscal year, so that no deficit would actually show up on the year-end books. ted to flush revenues and surpluses.

Those programs are being phased in and thus are demanding full funding at a time when revenues have stopped growing. To put the budget increases in perspective, if the state budget had increased at 6 percent annually since 1985, the 1990 budget would be 488 million, rather than the $600 million spending proposal enacted. Q' Wasn't there any warning about this? A As far back as two years ago, there were warnings that Vermont would face problems in the 1990 fiscal year. And at the time the $600 million fiscal 1990 budget was adopted this spring, lawmakers knew revenues would not equal the spending. They relied on an increase in the state personal income tax to generate an additional $18 million annually and used $8.5 million from a previous year's surplus to help finance the spending.

Even then, though, the estimate was spending was about $5 million above available money. As the fiscal year began in July, there were increasing fears about the state of the economy, so Gov. the governor will propose budget cuts and possibly revenue increases to ensure the budget is balanced when the fiscal year ends June 30, 1990. The Legislature will then decide whether to accept, reject or modify the proposal. What will the legislators do? At this time, legislative leaders tend to disagree with the governor about the severity of the problem.

They tend to believe revenues are going to perform better than Kunin administration projections. They also tend to believe that the downturn will not be as long or severe as now projected by the governor. What about the long term? The Kunin administration believes the state's biggest problem will be in the fiscal year that begins July 1, 1990. Administration Secretary Thomas Menson says economic data are now drifting toward the worst case forecast developed for 1990-91 this past summer. He says spending demands are skyrocketing at a time revenues are falling, and that AUCTION USED HOUSEHOLD GOODS 1 foot locker contents unknown, 15 cartons contents unknown.

By Christopher Graff The Associated Press MONTPELIER If you are confused by all the talk of Vermont's budget woes, you are not alone.

It is a situation that changes every day, as revenue forecasters rush to interpret a changing economy. The problem has been lumped under the catchall phrase of budget crunch, but actually is made up of three separate issues: There is the question of how the problem developed. There is the impact on this year's state budget. And finally there is the issue of next year's budget. To help sort out the situation, here is a look at the problem, in question and answer format: What is the basic problem? A' Quite simply, the state appears unlikely to have enough money to finance this year's budget.

How great is the shortfall? No one is quite sure. The Kunin administration is reviewing its revenue forecast for this year and expects to have a revised forecast within the next week or so. But even a new revenue forecast won't provide the whole picture, because it appears some state agencies, especially the Human Services Agency, might need extra money for this year. How did the problem develop? and Funerals a member of the University Heights Presbyterian Church in Bronx, N.Y.

NORMA MAE CUTTING RICHFORDWESTFORD Mrs.

Norma Mae Cutting, 65, of Highland Avenue, Richford, and formerly of Westford, passed away unexpectedly early Monday morning, Nov. 27, at her home. She was a member of the former Mystic Temple No. 10, Pythian Sisters in Westford. Born in Underhill on March 11, 1924, she was the daughter of Harold and Dorothy (Germain) Woodworth.

Services will be held Wednesday at 2 p.m. in the Hayes-Rich Funeral Home, Fairfax, with the Rev.

Louis Drew officiating. Interment will be in Underhill Flats Cem Analysis There is some disagreement. Some say the state's spending pattern the state budget has increased 64 percent in the past five years is primarily responsible for the shortfall; others say the worsening New England economy is causing state taxes to generate less than expected. Is there a way to tell? A' Not easily, because it really is subjective. It is akin to the question of whether the glass is half-full or half-empty.

If spending had been more moderate, there would be no shortfall. In turn, if revenues were higher, there would likewise be no problem. Those who point to spending as the problem note the state has doubled state aid to education without providing any funding; that annual overall increases of 12 percent in the budget were simply too much in a time of 3 percent to 4 percent inflation, and that the budget has been financed with surplus dollars for three years. Those who cite failing revenues as the problem note other New England states are experiencing the same situation and that revenues in the first four months of this year are showing no growth. Why has the state budget grown so much? Many new programs have been created in recent years as the governor and lawmakers reac Held etery.
