Governor Inslee’s 2013-15 budget proposal would increase near general fund-state plus opportunity pathways (NGFS+) spending over the enacted 2011-13 budget (with 2012 supplemental) by $3.184 billion.

I’ve gone through the budget details to get the policy versus maintenance changes split. Gov. Inslee’s proposal assumes NGFS+ maintenance increases totaling $2.561 billion, and it would make NGFS+ policy increases totaling $623 million.

Below is a table showing Governor Inslee’s proposed 2013-15 policy changes compared to those of Governor Gregoire from earlier this year. As we explained in this policy brief, former Gov. Gregoire proposed a “book 1” budget (using only existing revenue) and a “book 2” budget (incorporating new revenues).

The summary budget documents are available here, and you can explore all the gory details here.
