Statement

The following is a statement from Governor Mark Parkinson regarding the October revenues being approximately $12.6 million over estimates:

"For the third straight month, our state revenues have exceeded our expectations, accumulating a $75 million surplus for this fiscal year. This news is not just an example of how the responsible budget that was passed by the bipartisan coalition in the legislature is working, but also how our economy is heading in the right direction.
