QUORUM | MPB 3-17-2010 - The Revenue Report

QUORUM features extensive coverage of the 3-17-2010 meeting of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and the latest findings of the Revenue Estimating Group.

This latest revenue report could make a big difference, positive or negative, for state agencies and programs already hard-hit by budget cuts. The Legislature's top budgeteers got full details Wednesday, just as they consider appropriations for Fiscal Year 2011. Meantime, Governor Haley Barbour announced his fifth round of budget cuts for FY 2010. MPB's QUORUM offers a comprehensive report on the meeting, the state's revenue outlook, and the prospects for key government services across Mississippi. JLBC members Cecil Brown and Terry Burton join us on the panel to discuss the findings and the way ahead for state budget writers.
