The Senate version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2004-2005 Department of Military Affairs budget. (Note: Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s proposed budget for this department is House Bill 5612 .) This appropriates $109.8 million in adjusted gross spending (funded from all sources, including special state restricted fund and federal pass-through dollars, minus interdepartmental transfers), compared to $102.8 million, which was the FY 2003-2004 amount enrolled in 2003. Of this, $37.5 million will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), compared to the FY 2003-2004 amount of $37.1 million. The Senate version authorizes approximately amount of spending as the governor recommended.
