  "term": "State government",
  "field": "Economic statistics",
  "definition": "The state government in each case consists of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government and all departments, boards, commissions, and other organizational units. It also includes any semi-autonomous authorities, institutions of higher education, districts, and other agencies that are subject to administrative and fiscal control by the State through its appointment of officers, determination of budgets, approval of plans, and other devices. As to all such agencies, financial information included in the Census reports represents their gross transactions with the public and other governments, rather than only the net effect of such transactions on central state funds. Each data item for a state government consists of the sum of amounts of the type described for all funds and accounts--including not only the general fund but also special revenue funds, sinking funds, public trust funds, bond funds, and all other special funds.",
