Clicking on the arrow next to the agency's name  provides a listing of budget item #'s with a corresponding description of the amendment and dollar amount change by year 1 and 2 (Year 1 is SFY 07 and year 2 is SFY 2008).  As you can see, DRS had a $78,871 reduction from what the Governor had proposed ($578,871) to address the order of selection.  Even with the full amount, it's questionable whether it would have been sufficient to serve all eligible consumers.  So, the reduction is not good news.  It's something we're going to have to address next year.
