State Revenues up 6.3%; more money for school transportation

State Budget Director Linda Luebbering announced today that 2011 fiscal year-to-date net general revenue collections increased 6.3 percent compared to fiscal year 2010, from $3.88 billion last year to $4.13 billion this year. This places revenue collections for the year slightly ahead of forecast.

Because of the improvement in revenue collections, Governor Jay Nixon has provided $10 million in additional funding to local schools to assist in covering transportation costs.

“This uptick in state revenue allows us to provide additional funds to help schools statewide pay for K-12 transportation,” Governor Nixon said.

Net general revenue collections for January 2011 increased by 15.9 percent compared to those for January 2010, from $561.2 million to $650.4 million.
