data are suspect

The data in this table is suspect. I combined the data from this table and the table of state populations to determine budgeted dollars per person in the state and found a very wide variation. I then took Washington and West Virginia to compare. This table shows West Virginia's budget at about $4 billion. In fact, the bill signed by the West Virginia governor (on the National Association of State Budget Officers - http:www.nasbo.org) is about $22 billion. $4 billion was for the General Fund only. This table would appear to need verification and re-work.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Shepherd66 (talk • contribs) — Preceding undated comment added 14:38, 17 October 2014‎

– I agree. The table should ideally include a column listing the population of each state to validate the per capita numbers. Monkeshine (talk) 18:33, 23 June 2019 (UTC)monkeshine[reply]

Here is some better data from the census. I think there should be a column for revenue and total debt. I'll make a dope graph of it then.--Wikideas1 (talk) 06:43, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Completely unreliable data. It should all be removed. Look at the link to Oregon data. The table on this Wikipedia page shows 2021-2023, 175 billion budget. The linked document shows 2017-2019, 75 billion, AND IT IS A BIENNIAL BUDGET! So annual it is 37.5 billion. Wrong year, wildly overstated per capital budget. Why is this table still here? Dollymadisonking (talk) 22:42, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- I agree. The table is very misleading because of the lack of population info and the lack of breaking out into yearly budgets. Even some states with multiple years in a budget (KY) have only one year listed in the FY column, so you can't even rely on that to track which states are overindexed. Can I delete the table or can someone fix it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aptpupil79 (talk • contribs) 06:08, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Doing some updating

Working to update and correct data on this list. States differ a lot in how they report budget figures. In general I have tried to represent as accurately as possible total state government spending, while excluding federal funding that passing through state governments (for programs like Medicaid, IDEA, Title I, Interstate highways etc). I have also tried to exclude money received from fee-for-service payments at state-run programs (e.g. tuition to attend state universities). This has been tough as every state reports things differently. I have added notes to a few particularly complicated states explaining how I derived my figures.
