Harsdorf Statement on Budget Surplus

New tax collection figures show revenue growth and increasing budget surplus.

“Today’s updated revenue estimates are encouraging and a positive development as we work on the state budget.  The Legislative Fiscal Bureau’s memo showing $575 million in additional revenue over three years shows the value of the tough budget decisions we made last session to get our state’s fiscal house in order.”

“While this is good news for our state, it is important to make prudent decisions on spending as we work to protect taxpayers.  I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues on the budget-writing committee to pass a balanced budget that focuses on fiscal responsibility and putting people back to work.”
