State finances inch toward improvement amid cautious optimism
State officials breathed relief as the fiscal year closed with a slightly better balance than expected. The June 30 general tax fund may end $4 million to $6 million, but $9.3 million in bills and unused funds remain to be covered. Strong sales tax receipts and over $10 million in unspent appropriations helped exceed earlier $1 million balance projections, though rates were not set high enough to fully cover spending.
