Special Revenue
Consumer Counsel and Public Utility Control$1,627
Enterprise Funds
Bradley International Airport$17,491

The General Fund and Consumer Counsel and Public Utility Control Fund deficits have been addressed by Public Act 93-402, subsequently modified by Public Act 97-305, which among other things, requires any GAAP deficits for budgeted funds existing as of June 30, 1999 to be amortized in fifteen equal increments beginning with the annual budget for fiscal year 2000-01.

While the unreserved retained earnings of Bradley, CII, and CDA have a deficit balance, the total fund equity of each fund is still positive.
