By the second year of the Outlook,
the Pre K-12 Education and Natural
Resources needs increase as trust
fund options diminish, while other
areas decline or stay nearly the
same. As a result, Natural
Resources significantly increases its
share of the total need, becoming
second only to Statewide Issues. By
the third year, the two policy areas
are identical at 24.3 percent.
