SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A revenue shortfall of $25 million to $31 million has been projected for state's 2003 budget.
The shortfall would be less than one-half of 1 percent of the budget, and no special session will be needed. Agencies had $8 million to $10 million in year-end savings, said state budget director Lynn Ward, and the rest of the deficit can be covered through minor spending reductions.
Wednesday's projections were based on April tax collections -- the biggest revenue month of the year.
