Budget highlights

The governor's proposal for erasing a $15.2-billion budget shortfall includes:

$5.1 billion -- ($15 billion over three years) to be borrowed against future lottery revenues, subject to voter approval. Voter rejection would trigger a temporary 1-cent-on-the-dollar sales tax increase.

$828 million -- diversion of the gasoline tax windfall from transportation projects to balance the budget.

$627 million -- cuts in welfare, state benefits for the aged and disabled and pay for in-home care workers for the elderly. Elimination of certain aid programs for legal immigrants.
