Just run with the press release? I wish there was a news source that would read the releases and ask questions rather than just post the release. The headline says "revenue down," but all categories of income tax are up, and there was less paid out in refunds. The only thing that could make the entire year's revenue be down is the 72% drop in the "Other" category.
ReplyDeleteThat's not informative. What's in that category, and why is it down so much?
