Vermont Budget and Management Director Ronald Crisman warned of a potential 1.1 million deficit for the fiscal year ending June as April income tax returns run below schedule. He noted the shortfall could shave the official projection and contrast with party predictions of a surplus. The sales and corporate taxes show stronger performance, aiding the outlook.
