“TN general fund revenues could be $162 million more than expected, board says” —
From
Tennessean.com:
The State Funding Board projected today that Tennessee’s general fund revenues could end up to $162 million more than originally expected in the current budget year.
The panel predicted growth in both the current spending year and the one beginning July 1, but the state still faces deep cuts because most stimulus money will no longer be available.
Depending on actual tax collections this year, the panel predicted general fund collections could grow between $247 million and $353 million in the upcoming budget year. That’s a growth rate of between 2.9 percent and 3.65 percent.
