September 14, 2012 /
The state general fund’s preliminary ending fund balance for the fiscal year that ended June 30 was $457.1 million – $268.2 million more than the 2011 Legislature had projected, the Legislature’s chief revenue forecaster said Thursday.
Lawmakers in 2011 had anticipated a general fund ending balance of $188.9 million in mid-2012.
Looking ahead, Terry Johnson, a principal legislative fiscal analyst, said that the projected ending fund balance, or surplus, as of June 30, 2013, is now at $412.5 million. That’s $262 million more than the Legislature forecast.
