Scope and Content:

Shifting Priorities in the New Hampshire General Fund examines the rising costs of health care and prisons and the effect on higher education funding. The report follows the decline of General Fund appropriations for many government programs while programs like Medicaid, home-health, and the Department of Corrections increased. The report also examines the increase in the General Fund's budget compared to the state's economic growth. Though examining 1991 to 2001, the report draws on data from as early as 1971.
