NEWS YOU CAN USE
National Nonprofit Spotlight
The 2011 fiscal year for most states began with uncertainty and turmoil as states made further spending cuts to deal with depressed tax receipts. The failure of Congress last month to extend Federal Medical Assistance Percentages (FMAP) funding left many legislatures scrambling to fill budget holes.  Without these funds, states will make even deeper spending cuts and more tax increases than previously planned. 

For example, California: Lawmakers were sent home for the scheduled July recess without reaching a deal to close the state's projected $19.1 billion deficit. The joint budget conference committee will continue to negotiate and other legislators are on notice that they may be called back to Sacramento if a deal is reached. 

Keep watching TANOgram for updates on how nonprofits in other states are being impacted.
