States tighten budgets as federal aid shrinks nationwide
States and cities curb spending amid federal cuts, raising taxes and delaying or reducing services. Utah raises cigarette tax to cover shortfall while 30 states face net revenue gains of 2.5 billion annually. Municipalities lay off workers and hike local taxes. New Jersey, Massachusetts and Montana cut funding for health care and housing programs. Public charities urge more private giving, but surveys show limited corporate philanthropy and stretched social programs nationwide.
