State Revenue Outlook Gloomy Despite 1941 Highs
From Raleigh Jan 28 an Enterprise Bureau report by Bob Thompson notes officials expect a 1942 revenue slump after 1941’s record tax take. General funds rose to 30.34 million with rising gasoline taxes, yet auto sales, tires, and license taxes will drop, forcing belt tightening and economy orders as highway and other revenues weaken. A budget director warns of tighter times ahead with possible cuts and a surplus shrinking.
