The review is important because the finance department's numbers are used to develop the state's general fund budget each year and because lawmak- ers take millions of dollars in loans from the special funds to close budget deficits. budget includes more than $39 billion from 560 spe- cial funds, which are gen- erated from taxes and fees for things such as recy- cling and vehicle registra- tion.

Even so, the finance and controller's balances for some special funds diverged by hundreds of millions of dollars. That includes a discrepancy of nearly $423 million in the Public Utilities Commis- sion funds. Finance offi- cials said they would launch an audit of the PUC's accounting prac- tices next week. Matosantos said nearly $84 million of the gap was due to human error that has not yet been fixed. That includes nearly $29 million in the state's resti- tution fund, which pro- vides funding for crime victims, although it's still unclear whether there is actually additional money available in that account. ment's review found a dif- ference of $3.7 billion in the amount of special fund money reported to the controller's office and the finance department as of June 30, 2011, the end of the 2010-11 fiscal year.

The inves- tigation turned up no other cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy. ''The results of this thorough investigation confirmed that at no time was the U.S. food supply or human health at risk, and that the United States' longstanding system of interlocking safeguards against BSE continues to be effective,'' said John Clifford DVM, USDA's chief veterinary officer. The 10-year-old dairy cow, only the fourth with the sickness ever dis- covered in the United States, was found as part of an Agriculture Department program that tests for the fatal brain disease in about 40,000 of the 35 million cows slaughtered each year. It was unable to stand before it was killed and sent April 18 to a ren- dering plant at a Hanford, Calif., transfer station. It was one of dozens that under- went random testing at the site, and the positive results set off the federal investigation into the source of the disease. USDA investigators tracked the cow from the ranch where she was born to a heifer operation where she was raised and bred to activate her mammary glands and to the Tulare County dairy where she spent her life. Investigators found 282 cattle it cells. The largest differences were in transportation funds, the Fiscal Recovery Fund and Proposition 63, a tax on millionaires to fund mental health ser- vices.

The deception dated to at least 2000. On Friday, Brown said $20 million can be appro- priated by the Legislature. He will recommend it go toward parks maintenance projects such as repairing water and waste treatment systems and to match money given to the parks by private groups. The revelations of the hidden money at the parks department sparked wide- spread outrage because 70 state parks had been threatened with closure this summer as a result of state budget cuts. Non- profits and local govern- ments throughout the state had rallied to raise money to keep most of them open.
