Missouri government's revenue collections outpace early projections
Growth may be slowing, but the Missouri’s revenue stream continues to flow heavier than expected.
The latest numbers released today by state Budget Director Linda Luebbering, show that Missouri’s general-revenue collections for the current fiscal year are running at a pace that’s up 8.3 percent overall, compared to a year ago.
That means the state has collected $5.48 billion in general revenue, compared to $5.06 billion at the same point last year. In other words, Missouri has collected $420 million more in FY2013, compared to the same point in FY2012.
