The Division of Administration says it has instituted a formula for state construction projects. The Legislature passed a measure last year that required local matches for capital outlay projects and put a system of evaluating projects. Prior to that, the list of capital outlay projects was ballooning. The Commission on Streamlining Government is looking at a formula that would set caps on how much money that could be spent on construction projects by category, allocating money for roads and bridges, higher education and state building projects. Wednesday’s poll question asked if the Legislature should create a formula to allocate funding for state construction projects.
