That does not seem too far out of line, given inflation. The Dept of Labor
has a nifty inflation calculator at
<http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/statistics/inflation.htm>
http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/statistics/inflation.htm. Entering $1000 in
1989 gives $1476 in 2003. Going the other way, a thousand dollars today was
just $677 in 1989. You only need to go back to 1985 to get to the alleged
170% funding level quoted below.

State Funding has increased every year since 1989, and is now at 170% of the
1989 funding level.
