OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma Board of Equalization this week certified approximately $6.5 billion in revenue for the state budget in fiscal year 2013, an increase of $120.3 million over the previous year.
The improvement from last year is a result of increased tax revenues as Oklahoma’s economy continues to improve.
However, the state faces an estimated budget shortfall of as much as $150 million due to the loss of one time funding sources. Even if the current trends continue state leaders are still looking at standstill budgets for the next fiscal year.
