"Housing and Emergency Shelter Trust Fund Act of 2006" and in the same square under those words, the following in 8-point type:
"For the purpose of providing shelters for battered women and their children, clean and safe housing for low-income senior citizens; homeownership assistance for the disabled, military veterans, and working families; and repairs and accessibility improvements to apartment for families and disabled citizens, the state shall issue bonds totaling
two billion eight hundred fifty thousand dollars ($2,850,000,000)

Hey, there's a typo in there.

Two billion eight hundred fifty thousand dollars is $2,000,850,000.
Two billion eight hundred fifty million dollars is $2,850,000,000.

I wonder which one they mean, although I guess it's just small change to the wasteful legislators.

Good catch!

I wonder which one they mean.

The larger one, of course! ;-)
(Actually, the larger is correct, as stated in various other documents and communications put out by the legislature.)
