What changed

The clearest shifts in the record

Overall budget movement

Pending

This state still needs another comparable year before GovMatrix can explain whether the statewide budget is rising or falling.

Category-level changes

Partial

GovMatrix still needs more comparable category rows before it can explain which major services or funds changed most.

Quick checks

What to verify before you draw a bigger conclusion

Financial Stability

50/100

Reserve detail is not reliable enough yet to support a reserve-based judgment.

Spending Efficiency

50/100

Category detail is still too thin or too partial to support a defensible spending-mix read.

Transparency

40/100
