Gov. Heineman's Statement on Forecasting Board's Revised Estimate
Statement
Issues: Government Budget and Spending
Gov. Dave Heineman commented today on the decision of the Nebraska Economic Forecasting Advisory Board to revise state revenue estimates for the current fiscal year and the coming biennium up $15 million and $40 million respectively.
Gov. Heineman said, "Today's revised forecast is a signal that our state economy continues to grow and that is certainly good news. While the board's decision to fine-tune its earlier forecast indicates a positive outlook for our state, I believe it should not be a call for additional spending as we work to finalize the budget in the remaining weeks of the legislative session."
