Analysis shows possible state budget overrun of $373M after 2011 Montana Legislature
January 28, 2010 /
Barring some major changes, state government’s grim budget picture doesn’t appear likely to improve anytime soon, leaving even more difficult decisions for the 2011 Legislature, a preliminary analysis by the Legislative Fiscal Division shows.
The analysis shows that if the 2011 Legislature funds state services at the current level and spends $74 million to bail out state pension funds again – along with $22 million to cover cost overruns – state general fund spending would exceed tax collections by $373 million.
