A monthly revenue update from state budget officials shows that individual income taxes, corporate taxes and sales taxes were all lower than projections. Combined they were $53 million lower than finance officials expected them to be for the month.

The poor numbers were offset a bit by $22 million gains in other, unspecified revenue.

For the year, however, tax receipts are slightly ahead of projections.

The monthly reports don't calculate spending patterns. A full economic picture is due early next month, and that will guide early budget deliberations at the Capitol in 2009.
