State revenue comes up short of projections in September

? Kansas officials say the state’s revenues in September came in $67 million below expectations.

The Department of Revenue released figures Wednesday afternoon on corporate and individual income tax collections for the month.

So far in the fiscal year that began July 1, state revenues are $65 million below the forecasts that formed the basis for the state budget.

Gov. Mark Parkinson issued a statement noting that revenues in August had been slightly higher than expected. Parkinson says the state can manage the overall shortfall through careful management of existing funds.
