But for Del. Steve Schuh, R-Gibson Island, the problem extends beyond a "misleading" slide in a PowerPoint presentation.
For him, the accounting discrepancy demonstrates a dangerous policy decision. By using temporary stimulus dollars to prop up long-term program commitments, Schuh said, the state is continuing to outstrip its means.
"Another option (with the stimulus) would have been to spend it on increasing programs or projects that would have a finite life," he said. "When that money runs out, we are going to be left with an incredibly difficult choice."
