Budget outlook dents sentiment on state workers raises
The Senate approved a 1.5 percent raise for most state workers starting mid July while the House budget offered no raise. State tax receipts for March totaled 266 million, about 18 million below the November forecast, and nine month totals run 73 million under prediction. University economists and staff forecast tax revenue will miss the November forecast by 105 million this year and 125 million in fiscal 2004. Budget Director Duane Goossen said March figures align with the latest forecast. A further revised forecast is due April 22.
