Abstract

DIRECT EXPENDITURES INCLUDE SALARIES, WAGES, FEES, AND COMMISSIONS; PURCHASES OF SUPPLIES, MATERIALS, AND SERVICES; AND CAPITAL OUTLAYS FOR CONSTRUCTION, EQUIPMENT, AND LAND.

THE FIRST SECTION OF THIS REPORT PRESENTS STATEWIDE EXPENDITURE DATA BY LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT AND TYPE OF ACTIVITY.
