State economist tells Legislators revised budget estimate is down $21 million

State revenue $21 million below estimate

The state’s revised revenue estimate is down $21 million, but state economist Darrin Webb told lawmakers Wednesday he believes the state will make up the deficit.

Last fiscal year, the state missed revenue estimates by $30 million and for the current fiscal year, the estimate was reduced by $65 million, Webb said.
