Of the total income tax revenue for fiscal year 1982, $1,322,762,000 was produced by the individual income tax and
$129,593,000 by the corporate income tax, representing an increase of $97,768,000 and a decline of $9,322,000, respectively,
over the prior year. The increase in individual income tax revenues of 8.0 percent over the prior year is attributable to
population growth and a higher personal income level for the States taxpayers. The decrease in the corporate income tax
revenues of 6.7 percent from the prior year is attributable to the current recessionary times for businesses, as well as federal
tax cuts which also affect the States tax revenues.

Other revenues decreased $26,645,000 or 24.8 percent from 1981. This decrease is due in part to the reclassification of
the Maryland Higher Education Loan Corporation from the General Fund to the Enterprise Funds and is also due to minor
reclassifications of other revenue to other licenses and fees.

Federal revenues decreased $99,724,000 or 9.7 percent from the prior year. This decline reflected reductions in federal
reimbursements for state transportation, human resources and other federal programs.

Changes in levels of expenditures (amounts expressed in thousands) for major functions from the previous year are

Expenditures for human resources decreased $44,945,000 or 8.8 percent from 1981. This decrease reflected the federal
governments budget cuts for welfare services.

Expenditures for agriculture increased $3,430,000 or 25.9 percent over 1981. The increase was primarily attributable to
an acceleration in the agricultural land preservation program which was started in 1981.

Expenditures for intergovernmental functions decreased $46,460,000 or 14.9 percent from 1981. A decrease in capital
spending for local transportation projects is reflected in this drop.

Debt service expenditures increased $95,445,000 or 30.2 percent over 1981. This increase was attributable to the
payment of the $60,000,000 of Consolidated Transportation Bond Anticipation Motes by the Department of Transportation as
well as to increased interest costs for general obligation bonds.

Operating transfers in of $208,341,000 increased $36,919,000 from the preceding year, and operating transfers out of
$357,548,000 decreased $1,405,000 from the preceding year. The operating transfers in increase of 21.5 percent over the
amount for 1981 was attributable to the increase in the Maryland State Lottery's ticket sales for the year. The State Lottery
receipts included a onetime increase of $22,590,000 representing net receipts from the sale of instant lottery game tickets
during 1982.
