July revenue report not completed due to #msleg changes

Report on state revenue completion lagging

With the month of September quickly approaching, the report detailing Mississippi revenue collections for the month of July is still not complete.

Normally, the staff of the Legislative Budget Committee has the monthly reports completed within a few days of the end of the month.

But the July report has created unique problems. Debbie Rubisoff, director of the Budget Committee staff, said changes made to the method of collecting state revenue during the 2016 legislative session is having to be incorporated into the July report – the first of a new fiscal year.
