States weigh rainy day funds at 3 to 5 percent target
Perez argues a 5 percent reserve supports creditworthiness and flexibility during downturns, though not a cure for 10 to 20 percent revenue drops. Ending balances, spending cuts, tax hikes, hiring freezes, and maintenance deferral are needed. Some states use balances, some funds, or both. Kansas has no rainy day fund. During 1991 recession reserves fell to 1 percent, now rebuilding toward targets of 5 to 7.5 percent in coming years.
