That Beavs update link answers a lot of questions on what Murthy and Barnes are actually asking for. Thanks for posting this.

I think the one time allocation to cover COVID debt has a chance. and they are asking during a good time. the State is flush right now, a record kicker is going out the door next year.

I think they got it exactly right. They made it clear who caused this problem without sounding vindictive and asked for things that the legislature might likely approve.

Except that the state can't legally use the kicker money. They're still stuck operating in the same budget. I mean, sure, they aren't short and borrowing cash, but they don't have extra. |

Kind of impossible for the state to have "extra" . There are no incentives to carry out any jobs under budget. There are however, disincentives for departments who do not exhaust their entire budget even when it was entirely unecessary and fiscally irresponsible stewardship to do so. |

I have a friend who has worked in State of Oregon surplus who had stories about high ticket unopened in box office supplies (example:copy machines) that show up in late spring that apparently are just reordered for the next fiscal year... gotta keep that budget spent or it could get cut. |
