General revenue decreased over four percent in October

The Missouri Department of Revenue reported that general revenue collections dropped in the month of October. Christine McCarty has the story.

The general revenue collections fell a little over four percent this past month in Missouri. This is a change because in July, August and September general revenue collections had increased.

Linda Luebbering, Missouri budget director, says that even though general revenue decreased in October, general revenue collections are still up over last year.

Even though gross collections are up for the year, Luebbering says that withholdings probably won't be released and the governor won't make any decisions until December. From the state Capitol, I'm Christine McCarty.
