If in a given fiscal year, the total revenue figured on the basis of the laws in force, plus the resources or surpluses available for appropriation, were less than the expenses proposed, the Governor shall recommend new taxes, loans, or other pertinent action to the Legislature to deal with the estimated deficit. If the sum of all estimated revenues is greater than the proposed expenditures, the Governor shall make the recommendations which, in his judgment, best serve the public interest.
