Due to the tiling project the Capitol Preservation Board estimated a loss of $100,000 in event charges and room rentals. As a result their appropriation was reduced by $100,000. Actual results, however, show that events and room rentals have not declined and in fact are higher than prior years. The Analyst recommends an appropriation increase of $100,000 in FY 2015 and FY 2016 from Dedicated Credits.
