For the fiscal year overall, the “big three” sources of General Fund revenue, personal income tax (PIT), retail sales and use tax, and corporation tax, are beating estimates in the enacted budget.
For the first eight months of the 2017-18 fiscal year, total revenues of $81.07 billion are 3.1 percent higher than expected in the January budget proposal, 6.0 percent above the enacted budget’s assumptions, and 10.6 percent higher than the same period in 2016-17.
For February, PIT receipts of $2.99 billion were 14.4 percent below the proposed budget’s projections.
The decrease of $505 million in February’s PIT revenues is due to the net impact of lower receipts and higher refunds, which were $293 million above estimates in the governor’s proposed budget.
For the fiscal year, PIT receipts are higher than anticipated in the 2017-18 Budget Act by $2.92 billion.
Corporation taxes for February of $164.3 million were 23.1 percent higher than expected in the proposed budget. For the fiscal year to date, total corporation tax receipts are 28.1 percent above assumptions in the 2017-18 Budget Act.
Sales tax receipts of $3.24 billion for February were $22.6 million higher than anticipated in the governor’s budget proposal unveiled in January. For the fiscal year, sales tax receipts are $421.6 million higher than the enacted budget’s expectations.
Unused borrowable resources through February exceeded revised projections by 28.3 percent. Outstanding loans of $9.72 billion were 27.9 percent less than the 2018-19 proposed budget assumed the state would need by the end of February. The loans were financed entirely by borrowing from internal state funds.

KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Kelseyville Tripp Shopp has just opened its doors in the Pioneer Plaza in downtown Kelseyville.
Proprietor Elizabeth Straube, also known as Elle, has collected vintage hats and clothing, furniture and faubs, artwork and a long list of other funky, retro collectables including a wide ranging assortment of vinyl LPs.
She has an excellent turntable/sound system on hand so her shop is a musical delight as well.
The Kelseyville Business Association hosted a ribbon cutting on March 2, during a break in the weather, out in front of the shop with Straube’s young son, Willow, cutting the ribbon and her family from Colorado and members of the KBA providing the cheering section. The group wishes her all the best.
