INTRODUCTION
This First Quarterly Update to the Financial Plan (the "First Quarterly Update" or "Updated Financial Plan") revises the State's fiscal projections for the 2009-10 through 2012-13 fiscal years that were set forth in the Enacted Budget Financial Plan issued on April 28, 2009. The Updated Financial Plan reflects (a) updated receipt and disbursement estimates based on DOB's1 revised economic forecasts for the nation and State, operating results through the first three months of the 2009-10 fiscal year, a review of factors affecting the long-term current services forecast, and other information and (b) an estimate of the fiscal impact of bills passed by the Legislature in the 2009 regular session and approved by the Governor.
The Updated Financial Plan is intended to assist the Legislature and public in understanding the current operating forecast and the impact on State finances over a multi-year period. It is available on-line at budget.state.ny.us or by contacting the Division of the Budget, State Capitol, Albany, NY 12224, (518) 474-8282.

? The economic downturn continues to have a powerful negative effect on tax receipts in many states, including New York. The increase in the State's current-year gap is almost entirely due to a reduction in the forecast for State tax receipts, based on updated economic information and operating results. The outyear adjustments reflect negative revisions to both receipts and disbursements as the pervasiveness of the economic downturn leads to increased pension contributions (absent actions to control costs), reduced investment income, and other costs largely influenced by economic conditions.
? General Fund operating results through the first quarter of 2009-10 were better than expected in the Enacted Budget Financial Plan, but this was due in large part to (a) management actions to maintain adequate operating margins and (b) routine variances in the timing of disbursements that are not expected to affect annual spending levels. Excluding the impact of cash management actions, General Fund receipts were approximately $800 million below planned levels through the first quarter, the prime motivating factor leading to the receipts revisions.
? The Governor will propose a Program to Eliminate the Gap (the "PEG") in the current year without the use of existing reserves. It is expected that the PEG will propose substantial reductions in local assistance and State Operations spending, as well as other measures to achieve a balanced budget in the current year. The Executive expects to have the PEG ready for legislative consideration in the early fall of 2009. At the same time, DOB is working with the Governor's Office of Taxpayer Accountability to identify opportunities to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse in State government, and has begun to implement some of these measures.
