State's Coffers Filled With Record Sums

State government had record revenues for the fiscal year that ended June 30, State Treasurer Scott Meacham said today.

Meacham said preliminary figures show general revenue fund collections totaled $5.93 billion, $230.3 million or 4 percent over the previous fiscal year and $227.4 million above the state budget estimate.

For the third year, the state’s “Rainy Day” fund will be filled to its constitutional limit, leaving a surplus of $151.5 million.
