Vermont budget strains rise as revenue underperforms
Vermont faces deeper cuts as two months' tax receipts lag forecasts. General fund revenues run 2 percent above last year, far short of the 7.2 percent target. Officials urge departments to use allocated funds for salary increases, saving about 1.5 million, while earlier cuts total 2 million. Potential further reductions could reach 7 million, affecting the University of Vermont and Vermont State Colleges. Inflation and gas shortages drive tax declines, with cigarette and liquor taxes down, while income and sales taxes rise modestly. Highway costs surge from construction delays and inflation, with highway project estimates jumping from 50.1 million to 70 million.
