Abstract:

States’ total tax revenues rose in the first quarter compared to last year, marking the first such gain since the third quarter of 2008, according to this Institute report. But most states still saw tax collections drop, and early data suggest the second quarter may be weaker. Overall revenues still lag behind prerecession levels.
