"States report healthy budgets"

By ROBERT TANNER, AP National Writer
1 hour, 1 minute ago

" Higher-than-expected revenue has meant more state government spending this year on transportation, higher education and pensions, a new survey found, though it also picked up new worries over poorly performing sales taxes.

Mixed sales tax reports were the most prominent weak spot in the biannual financial report made public Thursday by the National Conference of State Legislatures, which last month surveyed all 50 states.

The good news was that 42 states had extra money, either from stronger tax income or other sources, as they closed in on the end of the current fiscal year which wraps up in June for all but four states."
