Exiting finance chief optimistic about fund
Santa Fe AP State Finance Director Vincent Montoya who leaves state government to enter private business says he is optimistic revenues for the current fiscal year will meet expectations. His last monthly general fund report shows May receipts at 41.9 million, up 5.5 million or 15 percent from May 1976, with 474.8 million collected in 11 months. About 20 million more needs to be collected in June to hit the year’s projection. Montoya notes June concentrates insurance taxes fire fund transfers and franchise taxes and reversions, adding uncertainty persists even in May due to year end revenues.
