beginning July 1, 2007, to be distributed in the cash portion of the grant. Each year

commissioner of finance's national economic consultant, as forecasted in the fourth quarter
of the calendar year preceding the rate year. The inflation adjustment must be based on the

year for which the rate is being determined.
