To-date in fiscal year 2009 the state of Missouri's net general revenue collections declined a half percent from last year.
The revenue fell from $6.45 billion last year to $6.42 billion this year.
State Budget Director Linda Luebbering made the announcement.
| Actuality: LEUBB2.WAV |
| Run Time: 00:13 |
| Description: "It's not unexpected because unemployment is up, and obviously people who do have investments have been losing money on those investments. Both of those things contribute to a loss in income tax." |
Luebbering noted that April's individual income tax collections fell short of what was expected.

| Description: "The economy as we all know, is not doing well. Our sales tax collections have not been doing well at all this year, they've been down, and that is a sign that people just don't have as much discretionary money to spend." |
Luebbering added that individual income tax collections for the month of April also fell short of expected.
