Unfunded Bush mandates cost states 29 billion/year - - - - - - - - - - - - By ROBERT TANNER March 10, 2004 \| States will wind up paying at least $29 billion this year to cover the costs of programs and initiatives handed down by the federal government -- from education to homeland security -- as Washington leaves an increasingly large burden for states, according to a new report. A bipartisan group of state legislators documented the costs in a report released Wednesday, with the biggest burdens coming from special education requirements, President Bush's new No Child Left Behind education law, and prescription drugs. "It is a fairly significant problem," said Pennsylvania state Rep. David J. Steil, a Republican who helped craft the National Conference of State Legislatures' report. "It's quite easy to define a need, and then push it down to local governments to pay for it."
