The Southeast consists of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. The report also documents the shrinking size of the State General Fund as a proportion of the State's Operating Budget, and it provides detail on grants for courts, hospitals, and other programs, not included in previous analyses.
