Depending on the state constitution, a governor may specify what percentage each government agency must reduce by, and may exempt those that are already particularly underfunded, or cannot put long-term expenses (such as capital expenditures) off until a later fiscal year.
依靠州宪法，州长可以靠每个政府机构必须减少多少百分点说明，并且可以免除那些已经拨款特别不足，或不能把长期开支（如资本开支）推迟直到下一财政年度的项目。
