Montana Legislature
Lawmakers debate revenue estimate in Helena
Posted: Jan 18, 2013 1:35 PM by Marnee Banks - MTN News
HELENA - The Montana Legislature is debating how much money it has to spend for the next two years.
The Legislative Fiscal Division predicts the state will have $4.2 billion in general fund revenue for fiscal years 2014 and 2015.
Meanwhile, the Governor's Budget Office is anticipating revenue will be $4.3 billion, marking a 1% difference.
The revenue estimate serves as a starting point for lawmakers as they balance the budget.
Historically, the revenue estimate bill hasn't passed due to political reasons, but this year the Republican legislators who chair the House and Senate Taxation committees say it will.
