Fiscal Detail and Notes 
This bill includes an Other Special Revenue Funds allocation of $50,000,000 in fiscal year 2004-05 for the 
Department of Transportation to support the Waldo-Hancock Bridge project. Funding for this project will be provided 
by the proceeds of GARVEE bonds which will be issued through the Maine Municipal Bond Bank and will be repaid 
from future federal transportation funds which are anticipated to be apportioned to the State of Maine. Due to savings 
that will be realized from the avoidance of construction delays and future inflationary costs, the net cost of financing 
the issuance of the GARVEE bonds will be minor and can be absorbed by the Department of Transportation within 
currently budgeted resources.
