Look no further than the blue map at the right to see that government fleets experienced a second straight year of funding decreases in 2004. For some regions, it was the third year in a row that money has dried up. The positive side, if it can be called such, is that the net (the percent reporting increases minus the percent reporting decreases) was slightly higher for local fleets than forecast for the year. Among local fleets, 17 percent reported funding increases minus 33 percent reporting decreases for a net of-16. On the state side, 20 percent reported increases minus 37 percent decreases for a net of-17.
