CHARLESTON, WV (AP) — West Virginia state government tax
revenues have again missed their monthly target, this time by nearly $27
million.
Officials had expected more than $227 million from
general taxes in February. After a poor showing in January, general
revenues are down for the budget year by nearly $35 million.
That's
about 1.3 percent below the estimate for this point since the budget
year began July 1. The state has collected $2.5 billion so far, and is
counting on a total of $4.1 billion by June 30.
All major revenue
sources fell below their February projections, including the taxes on
sales and personal and corporate net income. Those are all indicators of
state economic activity.
Severance taxes on such extracted natural resources as coal were also down, reflecting continuing mining sector weakness.
