Budget director: May numbers show growth in general revenue, consumer confidence

June 4, 2013 By Jessica Machetta

The state budget director says May’s general revenue report shows the state economy is making slow but steady rebounds. Budget Director Linda Luebbering says the numbers show consumer confidence is up slightly from last year. She says sales and use taxes dropped slightly — two and a half percent — from last May, but that was to be expected.

“We had expected the sales and use tax to grow at a slower pace than the individual income tax,” she says.  This expectation was driven by the assumption that jobs and salaries would increase first; and then later consumers would feel comfortable enough to start increasing their purchases.”

She says the overall numbers show a boost in consumer confidence, however sales taxes actually show a decline in May, slightly up for the year, meaning consumers are still very cautious about the purchases they’re making.
